Islam by its very nature survives on the withholding of reality and truth. For these reasons it can blossom in islamic countries due to them being dysfunctional societies with little impetus given to properly educating their people. This coupled with the high birthrates (& the west's low birthrates) will give rise to great global stress.
One of the cause because of their ignorance because they are not educated well. They did not know what will be the the cause of birth rate in to their lives. Some of them know that their siblings will be a key to the better future that they want to achieve. But theyre wrong, because how can you have a better life and better future in your children if they are not sending them to school?
