Tehelka - The People's Paper

The Muslims are producing babies like amoeba, and Hindus will be reduced to a minority ‘in their own country’, or so the Hindu right has long tried to convince you. Islam is indeed the fastest growing religion in the world, reveals a study by Foreign Affairs magazine. The number of Muslims in the world is growing at 1.84 percent because of high birth-rates in countries like India. The second fastest growing religion is the Bahai faith, founded in Iran in 1863 by Bahá’u’lláh who claimed to be the latest in a line of prophets ranging from Christ to Mohammed. And why are the Bahais growing so fast? High birth-rates in India. Number three is Sikhisim. Why? High birth-rates in India. Number four is Jainism. Why? High birth rates in India! At a growth rate of 1.52%, Hinduism is number five. The reason for this, as Foreign Affairs put it, is, “Surprise! High birth rates in India.” Christianity, with 2.2 billion adherents, is only the sixth fastest growing religion in the world, thanks to both the high birth-rate and conversions in the global south.

Now you know why they don’t want sex education in India, why Indians are shy to ask for condoms over the counter and why population explosion is no longer an issue in India. It’s all in the name of God, Holy sons!
