The Rebellion of Muslim Women May Defeat the Third Jihad

Posted: 25 Feb 2012 03:08 PM PST

I'VE BEEN reading an interesting book called How Civilizations Die and have come across some surprising facts. The book was published in 2011 and uses very recent population and birth rate data. Here's the bottom line: Women in Muslim countries are helping the counterjihad by not having many children. They are undermining orthodox Muslims by denying them soldiers. Here are some passages from the book:

In November 2010 President Ahmadinejad demanded that Iranian girls marry at the age of sixteen and produce more children... For years, Ahmadinejad has denounced Iran's falling birth rate as a Western conspiracy to hobble his country...In 2006 he declared that Iran's population should nearly double: "I am against saying that two children are enough..."

But Iranian women are doing the opposite of what Ahmadinejad asked. Back in 2006, when he first discovered the supposed Western plot to depopulate his country, Iranian women were having two children on average. By 2010 their fertility had dropped to only 1.7 children. Among the Persians who make up just over half of Iran's people — the rest are Turkish-speaking Azeris, Kurds, Arabs, and Baluchis — fertility is even lower. And in Iran's urban centers, there are even fewer births. In Tehran, the nation's capital, fertility is just 1.5 children per woman.

A country needs a birth rate of 2.1 just to maintain its population at the current level.

This same phenomenon is happening in other places in the Muslim world where women are literate. And the higher the literacy rate, the lower the birth rate. Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has also pleaded with Turkish women to have more children. In a speech to an audience of women, he asked them to each have at least three children. They ignored him. "Erdogan asked women to have three children, and the demand for contraceptives went up," complained a well-known Turkish academic.

This trend is following Muslims into the Western world. Here's more from the book:

In Germany, for example, Turkish women had on average two more children apiece than German women in 1970. But by 1996, the gap had narrowed to a one-child advantage for the Turks. Muslim women in Austria bore an average of 3.1 children each in 1981, almost double the 1.7 fertility rate for Catholic Austrians. Twenty years later, in 2001, the Catholic fertility rate was down to 1.3, but Muslim fertility had fallen to 2.3. In Holland, Turkish immigrant women were at a fertility rate of 3.2 children in 1990, double the Dutch fertility rate of 1.6. But by 2008, Turkish women in Holland were having only 1.9 children apiece. And in Denmark, the fertility of native-born women reached 1.9 in 2009, against 1.6 for immigrant women. (The figure for Danish women, though, includes second-generation immigrants.)

The pattern also appears to apply to African Muslim immigrants to France, which takes in more immigrants from Muslim Senegal than from any other country in sub-Saharan Africa. Although Senegal's total fertility rate of 5.2 (four children in cities and six children in the countryside) is one of the world's highest, Senegalese immigrants average only 2.12 children, slightly higher than the French average..."

We sometimes fix our attention on the influence orthodox Muslims are having on our culture while overlooking the fact that our culture is also having an influence on the Muslims who move to developed nations.

The more educated the women, the fewer children they bore. The key element is literacy. Literacy reduces both population and fundamentalism (orthodoxy).

All this leads to the inevitable conclusion that if you want to do something to stop the demographic jihad, you should pour your efforts into helping Muslim women become literate, and you should get on it now.

The Girl Effect helps educate young women (read more about the Girl Effect here). While there are many organizations dedicated to literacy for girls, most of them don't work in Muslim lands. But the Girl Effect does.

If you've had trouble talking to some of your friends and family about Islam (trying to get them concerned about the third jihad) I suggest you switch tactics with the resistant ones. Stop talking about Islam with them and promote the Girl Effect instead. Promote literacy for women. Become a fanatic about it. They'll be so relieved, they will gladly join your new cause just to stop hearing you talk about Islam. They never need to know that all their efforts are doing exactly what you've always wanted.

Muslim Brotherhood: Bank aka; NWO's Secret Weapon To Churn America Into Accepting Fraudulent Bailouts.

by Volubrjotr

The Muslim Brotherhood. The U.S. informed Arab governments Tuesday that it will support a U.N. Security Council statement reaffirming that the 15-nation body "does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity," a move aimed at avoiding the prospect of having to veto a stronger Palestinian resolution calling the settlements illegal.

Some Cartoons from Israel- Not Funny!

Interesting how these Israeli cartoons portray President Obama. The following cartoons were sent from Israel. These are telling of what the world sees in YOUR "America's President" — far from flattering!

What do we call America under Obama?

by Dr. Eowyn

Finally someone has coined the word to describe Obama and those who voted for and continue to support him.

The word is...

Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc'-ra-cy)

A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

And here's the evidence:

Exhibit A

49.5% of Americans don't pay income taxes

Exhibit B

H/t our Miss May

Union workers don’t like volunteers

Union workers don't like volunteers

by DCG

Volunteers save cities billions, but unions cry foul

Fox News: With budgets tighter than ever, cities across America are increasingly looking for more free labor. Nowhere is that trend more evident than Yakima, Washington.

"More and more every year, a large part of what we do is volunteers," says Archie Matthews, Yakima's director of neighborhood development services, "It saves us a ton of money."

Matthews says begging for volunteers is not beneath him. And to his surprise, he usually gets them. Once signed up, they do a variety of tasks, including construction work for low-income housing, painting over gang graffiti and keeping senior centers from having to close their doors.

Mary Lizotte, 74, volunteers eight hours a week at a senior center, where the paid staff has been trimmed to just three employees. "We've been faced with cuts in the budget and threatened to be closed down a couple of days a week," Lizotte said. "It's not only good for them, it's good for us volunteers." The center is able to stay open seven days a week with volunteers doing everything from clerical work to preparing and serving the food.

According to a Volunteering in America study, last year 63 million Americans volunteered more than eight billion hours. When you calculate average wages and benefits for city employees, local governments saved $173 billion.

But not everyone is thrilled about the civic spirit. Some unions are pushing back, fearing volunteers are cutting into their territory. "They're eroding the number of hours for our people," says Ian Gordon of Laborer's Union 1239 in Seattle. "It's of great concern that they might be doing further work that we would normally do."

Gordon's union represent 900 city employees, nearly half of them maintenance workers in the Parks Department, which cut staff by 14 percent. He's met with city officials over the volunteer issue and insisted on a significant roadblock. Volunteers are not allowed to drive work trucks or use power equipment of any kind. No lawnmowers, no weed whackers, no leaf blowers.

Len Gilroy of the Reason Institute says it's about protecting their turf. "Unions see a threat to jobs and lavish benefits that they've secured for their employees," says Gilroy. Ian Gordon won't dispute that. "I need to be concerned about our people, who have lives, families and who need to make a living wage," says Gordon.

Some unions don't have a problem. The Police Guild in Redlands, Calif., has welcomed a big spike in volunteer cops even after 21 paid officers were laid off. The city now has nearly four times as many volunteer officers as full-time, paid cops. Many of the volunteers do everything their paid counterparts do, from chasing down suspects to making arrests. "It's essential for us," says Redlands Police Chief Mark Garcia, "especially in tough financial times."

City officials admit there is a balancing act. They want to keep city services going in the wake of cutbacks. The only way to do that is with volunteers. The trick, they say, is to tap into a growing pool of free labor without angering their organized labor.

This is the problem with government - they aren't designed to make a profit. They are driven by the unions that seek to keep employees and their lavish benefits.

A private sector firm would 1) budget for staff that allows them to make a profit and 2) welcome volunteers (interns) to supplement their staff and keep their payroll at a minimum.

I say you could cut government staff (at all levels) by 1/3 or more and not see a difference in their services. Especially if volunteers stepped up to make sure their communities still functioned at a high level and their tax dollars were put to the best use.
