Really?

Which one?

There is Dearborn Michigan (my old hood), part of NY city, and some spots in Texas...................could be more by now - they keep coming over here in swarms and breed like rabbits.

MidWest, Missouri to be exact. Still in touch with some of them in fact.

Was just in Beirut Lebanon. They are really having issues there and one of them is just what you mentioned. The city is 40% Christian and 60% Moslem. It used to be the other way but in the last 30 years the Christian's have remained at about 2.2 kids per family, while the Moslems are at 5+ kids per family.

The Christians are worried that they are being over-run and are at this time being out voted on many things in the govt. They do not want their country to become another Iran where everyone is forced to adhere to Islamic law.

And getting bigger.

Note: did someone put the decimal in the wrong spot for the left side column?
