Lots of cherrypicking in that article. Like looking at the number of Muslim-majority countries (mostly small ones like Oman and Kuwait) that have seen large birth rate declines, rather than looking at the overall decline.

Let's look at the big Muslim-majority and Arab countries.

Egypt: 3.5
Pakistan: 3.6
Indonesia 2.5

Now some non-Muslim developing countries in Asia:

India: 2.3
Vietnam: 1.9
Thailand: 1.5

The birth rates in Muslim-majority countries are going down. Just not as fast as in the rest of the developing world (outside sub-Saharan Africa), and they started at extremely high rates to begin with.
