I read an article a few months ago about birth rates.
The birth rate in North America is declining, and I think it was the slowest in history (don't quote me, but something like 1.7 kids/couple)

The Muslim population, on the other hand, was at it's all time high (again...no quotes, but it was over 3.0 kids/couple...maybe even 4)

So, the population of "whites" is slowly decreasing, while the Arab and Muslim population is growing at an all time high.

The article was made with a lot of hate, but did make the good point that in 50ish years,the demographics and social attitudes, even in places like Canada, will be vastly different.

I could see incidents like this happening frequently then.

I wish I could find the article though.
