Yep, the living costs in Muslim nations are no where near as high as Western Europe.

Many poor people in Asia choose to take a chance on more children in the hope they can provide for each other.

I am sure Muslims thinking it is a sin to use contraception is a factor but how cheap it is to raise a child is bigger.

And Europeans are more enlightened, not thinking it is your duty in life to have 10 kids.
