"Muslims to make up 20 percent of Israel's population by 2020; the Muslim sector's growth rate is 2.4 times that of the Jewish sector.

Four hundred and fifty thousand children below the age of 14, one quarter of Israel's total youth population, are Muslims, the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) announced on Sunday. Israel's total Muslim population stands at 1.7 million, 16 percent of the overall population, at the beginning of 2004.


According to data released by the CBS on the occasion of the Id al-Adha festival, the Arab sector's growth rate over the past number of years stands at 3.4 percent. This figure is 2.4 times larger than the Jewish sector's growth rate, which stands at 1.4 percent. The growth rate among Israel's Muslim population is one of the highest in the world, including the rates of neighboring Arab states.

Nearly all the growth in the Muslim population, 98 percent, is attributed to natural growth (more births than deaths)."

1. But...but...

I thought the Israelis were killing all the Muslims.

Wait. Maybe it's the other way around.

2. Perhaps some will think twice

before attacking Israel in reagrd to diversity.

3. But, at the same time

the "diversity loving people" who support the PA have no problem supporting the PA's racist demands to remove all the Jews who live in their lands.

6. The demographic challenge

remains, without the Muslims of the territories, that is obvious with this latest statistic.

If the Arab Muslims were to have full and equal citizenship, like the Arab Bedouins, Druze and Jews, they will also have to serve in the army, and share in all civic responsibilities.

8. The casualties in the conflict, so far, are modest, as these things go.

I have read elsewhere that the orthodox/settler communities
are holding up their end of things reproductively, but not the
other segments of Israel's Jewish citizenry. The Palestinians,
along with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, on the other hand have the
highest reproductive rates in the Muslim world.
