Of course, dumb parents don't equal dumb children, but it was an interesting piece nonetheless.
As far as outbreeding a percieved enemy goes, I believe it has been very successfull in the past - especially for christianity.
Whether it would work today is open to question, but there is certainly a possibility that it could.

When the Western world gets serious about polygamy and cuts the funds to these families, these people will either go back home or limit the number of children to what they can realistically afford.
Which will end up being 2.4 children like everyone else.
So this big army that they are all wishing for isn't realistic unless they FOOT THE BILL for it and Imams and Ayotollahs send funds from their own pockets to finance it (which we know won't happen)

Twenty years ago, the world had about 1.1 billion Muslims. Twenty years from now, it will have about twice as many - and they'll represent more than a quarter of all people on earth, according to a new study released Thursday.
