Spengler Weighs In

David P. Goldman, whose nom de plume is Spengler, writes for PJ Media on the topic of crashing birth rates in Muslim nations:
Muslim civilization is in catastrophic decline. It is passing from infancy to senescence without ever reaching maturity.
We wrote about these issues just two days ago. As Spengler wisely reminds us, Ignatius is not the first to note Islam's declining birth rates. About the causes, Spengler notes:
The variable that best predicts fertility across all Muslim countries is education: as soon as women become literate, they stop having children. 
Many Muslim men resist the education of women; that could be the reason why.
