What on earth is he thinking ???

Below is just a forward received from one of my friend.... and I feel he should be shot dead!!!

AJMAN - AUG 20: A one-legged father-of-78 is preparing for his next two marriages as he closes in on his target of having 100 children by 2015. UAE national Daad Mohammed Murad Abdul Rahman , 60, has already had 15 brides, though he divorces wives to make way for new ones in order to stay within the legal limit of four. His youngest child, Tariq, is 20 days old and his oldest, Ayoob, is 36. And he has more babies on the way from two of his three current wives.

I could not really believe what I red for sometime. What in the sake of heaven is he thinking? Has he ever thought what these kids going to become? How is he going to support them until they can start earning themselves? Will all these kids get proper education?(He can rather open a school for himself). This just made me do a bit of research and what I found was shocking –

1. As per July 2007, the world population is 6,727,508,082 and is still going strong
2. The total population of Muslim’s across the world is 1,480,083,062
3. The average growth rate of population world wide is 2% where for the Muslims alone the growth rate is 2.9%
4. The combined annual GDP of 57 Muslim countries remains under $2 trillion. America, just by herself, produces goods and services worth $10.4 trillion; China $5.7 trillion, Japan $3.5 trillion and Germany $2.1 trillion. Even India's GDP is estimated at over $3 trillion (purchasing power parity basis).
5. Muslims are 22 percent of the world population and produce less than five percent of global GDP. Even more worrying is that the Muslim countries' GDP as a percent of the global GDP is going down over time. The Arabs, it seems, are particularly worse off. According to the United Nations' Arab Development Report: "Half of Arab women cannot read; One in five Arabs live on less than $2 per day; Only 1 percent of the Arab population has a personal computer, and only half of 1 percent use the Internet; Fifteen percent of the Arab workforce is unemployed, and this number could double by 2010; The average growth rate of the per capita income during the preceding 20 years in the Arab world was only one-half of 1 percent per annum, worse than anywhere but sub-Saharan Africa."
6. The planet's poorest countries include Ethiopia, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Somalia, Nigeria, Pakistan and Mozambique. At least six of the poorest of the poor are countries with a Muslim majority.
7. Over the past 105 years, 1.4 billion Muslims have produced eight Nobel Laureates while a mere 14 million Jews have produced 167 Nobel Laureates. Of the 1.4 billion Muslims less than 300,000 qualify as 'scientists', and that converts to a ratio of 230 scientists per one million Muslims. The United States of America has 1.1 million scientists (4,099 per million); Japan has 700,000 (5,095 per million).
8. Of the 1.4 billion Muslims 800 million are illiterate (6 out of 10 Muslims cannot read). In Christendom, adult literacy rate stands at 78 percent.

One may call me an anti Muslim or even try to prove that the above numbers are manipulated. Well… I have just consolidated various facts from various researches to just one blog. I guess it’s high time the clerics sit together and realize that its not by the count you should rule the world, but by quality. I need not really depend on these facts alone to have this conclusion, rather I could just take a walk through City market, majestic, neel Sandra of Bangalore to get an idea!

Now for those who would say “Its all Gods gift, so how can we say no” here goes my doubts

1. Even rain is from Allah, don’t you use umbrella to cover yourself?
2. Even thunder storms come from heaven, don’t u run for shelter or would love to stand in the middle of a ground?
3. Even sun light is from Allah, don’t you ever use sunglasses?

Here go few problems we face because of the population growth -

1. According to the World Bank and the United Nations, from 1 to 2 billion humans are now malnourished, indicating a combination of insufficient food, low incomes, and inadequate distribution of food. This is the largest number of hungry humans ever recorded in history
2. The per capita availability of world grains, which make up 80 per cent of the world's food, has been declining for the past 15 years (Kendall and Pimentel, 1994). Certainly with a quarter million people being added to the world population each day, the need for grains and all other food will reach unprecedented levels.
3. At present, fertile cropland, is being lost at an alarming rate. For instance, nearly one-third of the world's cropland (1.5 billion hectares) has been abandoned during the past 40 years because erosion has made it unproductive (Pimentel et al., 1995). Solving erosion losses is a long-term problem: it takes 500 years to form 25 mm of soil under agricultural conditions.
4. About 40 percent of the world's people live in regions that directly compete for shared water resources and about 90 per cent of the diseases occurring in developing countries result from a lack of clean water
5. The number of people living in urban areas is doubling every 10 to 20 years, creating major environmental problems, including water and air pollution and increased disease and food shortages.
6. As supplies of fossil energy dwindle, the cost of fuel increases everywhere
7. When global biological and physical limits to domestic food production are reached, food importation will no longer be a viable option for any country. At that point, food importation for the rich can only be sustained by starvation of the powerless poor. This is when, most of the 183 nations of the world are now, to some extent, dependent on food imports

Unless and otherwise we realize how pathetic the situation is, its bound to get worse. It doesn’t just apply to my Muslim brothers, but a request to all…
