. To begin with, Muslims have more children than members of the seven other major religious groups analyzed in the study. Each Muslim woman has an average of 3.1 children, significantly above the next-highest group (Christians at 2.7) and the average of all non-Muslims (2.3). In all major regions where there is a sizable Muslim population, Muslim fertility exceeds non-Muslim fertility.
Muslim and Non-Muslim Fertility RatesThe growth of the Muslim population also is helped by the fact that Muslims have the youngest median age (23 in 2010) of all major religious groups, seven years younger than the median age of non-Muslims (30). Why Muslims are the world’s fastest-growing religious group | Pew Research Center
As Muslims are the youngest median age group, it the ripe time for them to start having children. Infact it is birth rates that are the biggest reason for the growth of Islam.
Soon Islam will be the second biggest faith overtaking Judaism in the USA. In Europe it is more to do with higher birth rates of muslim families that is the biggest reason for the growth of Islam there in the last decade.
So? Largeness of numbers of adherents does not equate to correctness of a religion.
If they keep murdering each other in the middle eastern countries over their religion, that should help to keep their numbers down to a manageable point. And if they keep threatening the peace of the world by all their beheadings of men, women and children and rape of women and children, the world will be forced to help them to keep their numbers to a manageable number.
Even Christianity, with its vast number of adherents does not, in itself, prove correctness of its religion. Nor does a small group marginalized by a larger group prove incorrectness of the smaller group's ideology.

I was not aware of that. I thought that if a lot of people believe in X, and are willing to die for X, than X is probably true.
I think that in some non muslim countries there's also women who have a lot of children.
For exemple India had more than 1 billion inhabitants.
Usa = 320 millions
The arab world = 400 millions
The area of India is less than all the arab world (in majority muslim) but they are much more.
How come that Japan, a country where in general people have not that much children have 127 millions inhabitants ?
In term of area if we compare with many other countries they are much more people while less km2.
There's some countries with a bigger population than others while less in term of area.
Of course, there's some countries like Brazil with a big forest, cold places like in Canada or with desert areas like Libya, Australia etc ..
But how come that the whole population of Africa (mix of religions but with Islam & Christianity in predominance) is the same as China ?

When women control their bodies, and their reproductive health, the birth rate goes down.

No, that is a false proposition. People die for cults all the time. That does not ensure their correctness.
