Re: We breed as rabbits
“News flash: In a country where supposedly nobody is indulging in this despicable thing called sex, we are adding 11,500 children to our ranks every singly day. That, ladies and gentlemen (and our ruling leaders) comes to over 479 babies every hour or almost eight babies per minute. And you thought nothing much could be achieved in 60 seconds?
By 2025 alone, our projected population is expected to touch a numbing 210 million. And if you think that isn’t alarming, here are a few more statistics to make your day. Already, over 40 percent of us live officially under the poverty line. This by the way comes to almost 7.2 crore abjectly poor and desperate individuals. Add to this the fact that over 65 percent of our population is under 25 with barely 16 percent being literate in the real sense of the word and the explosive impact of the simmering rage of the young and the disfranchised human bomb becomes fairly clear. Add another 30 million (we’re talking minimum projections here) to this boiling cauldron of social discontent over the next decade and the consequences should not be difficult to fathom.” Mohammad Malick, The News, Pakistan

There was a news report on NPR on this very issue. They quoted a Mullah from Lahore as saying that reproduction is an obligation on all Muslims, and issues of overpopulation and all the problems that stem from it are best left in the hands of God. With thinking like this, what hope is there…
