There are reports that the Muslim birth rate is growing at 5 times the rate of the Caucasian birth rate. Do you have any feelings about this?

Not especially, except that the world is overpopulated as it is. I don't really mind who it's overpopulated with though. By the way, there are Muslim Caucasians too...
-
Error #1. Muslims can be Caucasian. Feelings: If there is a war between western secularism and Islamic fundamentalism, western secularism is not going to win.
-
First of all there are many people listed as Caucasian who are Muslim so I reject you question out of hand as ignorant and bigoted.
-
Its a small matter.
-
If they are able to support their larger families, it doesn’t bother me.
-
And where did these reports come from? Well personally, I feel it's just another increase in birth rate. It's not something to panic about
-
Darn, are Muslims getting more action than Caucasians now?
-
Do you feel threatened by the Muslim birth rate? I don't.

Since Caucasian is a race and Islam is a religion your question holds little validity, to be honest. Can you really say a Muslim birth rate? Yes, you can be born from Muslim parents into a Muslim family and be taught Islamic values and become a Muslim early in life - but no one (at least in my opinion) is born of a religion so I feel these 'reports' may be fallacious. Anyway... I don't mind how a religion expands, it will only replace another one in terms of population percentage and since Islam preaches mainly peace like Christianity and Judaism, why would I worry? Now if you said there was an increase in Islamic Extremists/Fanatics then maybe I would be concerned (just as I would if the same was true for Christianity or other religions).

I don't have many feelings about the "reports" that you suggest. However, I have feelings about your question and it's relevance. What are you trying to get at, bowlinggreen?
-
Any report that compares a religious group to an ethnic group loses all credibility right out of the gate. So my initial reaction to whomever reported this would be "Aw, look; it's trying to think!" I suppose technically that "feeling" would best be described as a mixture of pity, mirth, and disappointment.

Where do you get these absurd facts from? I'll assume you meant Muslims and Christian Westerners. If your ersatz info were true, it would be due to a lack of birth control and lower marriage ages.
