Demographics

The always wonderful Mark Steyn points out the uncomfortably obvious:
In the '70s and '80, Muslims had children - those self-detonating Islamists in London and Gaza and Bali are a literal baby boom - while westerners took all those silly books about overpopulation seriously. A people that won't multiply can't go forth or go anywhere. Those who do will shape the world we live in.

Very interesting point. I think where your analogy breaks down is that South America isn't populated by people who strap bombs to their children, behead people for disagreeing with them, or threaten to wipe entire countries off the map. At least that's not the case for most of South America.
