It’s a happy image of racial harmony: Bloomberg Businessweek illustrates this story with a drawing of German and migrant babies, white and brown, all dressed in traditional German garb and happily playing together. It’s a sweet image, but how real is it? Is this a Baby Boom or invading force? Bloomberg doesn’t address that question, but on this issue it is really the only one that matters. Will the Muslim migrant babies grow up to accept German values? Or will they be taught from birth that Muslims are the “best of people, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong” (Qur’an 3:110), and that therefore they have a duty to Islamize Germany? If large numbers of these babies are indeed taught that, and act upon that teaching, will this “Baby Boom” turn out to have been good for Germany?
“Europe’s Migrant Flood Brings Germany a Much-Needed Baby Boom,” by Carol Matlack, Bloomberg, December 15, 2016:
As Germany wrestles with the political and economic fallout of surging immigration, one thing has become clear. The foreigners are giving the country something it needs: more babies.
In 2015, Germany’s birthrate rose to 1.5 per woman, the highest in 33 years. The state statistics service attributed the increase mainly to foreign-born mothers, who accounted for a record-high 1 in 5 births. German-born moms have an average of 1.4 kids; for foreign-born women, the figure is higher than 1.9. “It’s much easier to be a family and have kids here,” says Basima Shhadat, who gave birth to a daughter in Munich in 2015, a year after arriving from Syria with her husband and five sons. Four other sons died in Syria, she says. “My kids can live here. There are no bombs.”
Not yet, anyway.
The birth surge is encouraging news for Germany, which has the world’s lowest birthrate. As in many developed countries, “there’s a dearth of millennials” having babies to replenish the ranks of workers who help finance pensions and health care for retirees, says Stijn Hoorens, a Rand Corp. demographer in Brussels. Immigrants are generally in their childbearing years, and once established in their host countries they tend to have bigger families than native-born counterparts, Hoorens says….

Western Europe has been conquered, soon to be declared a caliphate. Shiriah law imposded sooner than later, mayhem and executions ahead for cowardly “infidels” who did nothing to save their country from invaders. Stupid EU males indeed. W. EU will be over run with bloodshed and destruction.
billybob says
There has to be a better way to deal with falling birthrates. This is a huge world, with a current population of 7 billion people. Surely among all those are people who would be willing to come to Germany and adopt this country, its culture, and its values as their own, at least to the extent of universal values that we all share in the West? What stunning lack of foresight Merkle has shown in addressing this issue. Bringing in illiterates, thugs and thieves, and religious fanatics. What possible good can come of this?
laura ann says
Globalists are using the death cult of Islam for population control because it is way cheaper than a suppressing army or police. Knowing Muslims unquestioning loyalty to their leaders (Imams) they will do anything and everything as ordered. Women will become chattel. Nationalism in the EU will be suppressed and EU will be under Islamic rule if not already.
Benedict says
I am afraid this Baby Boom will turn into a real BOOM sooner or later.
Damocles Junior says
Australia opened it’s doors to Muslim refugees from Lebanon back in the early 80’s. Their grandchildren are now all the ones joining Jihad or the local Middle East crime scene often involving deadly gangland wars., They hate Australia and have no respect for our laws. Wake up Germany before it happens to you, you have enough problems with the first generation of Muslims, it will get worse with second and third.
On the same subject, well to do and well educated German women just don’t want to be bothered with marriage, having children or raising a family. Same in all western countries, the value of motherhood has effectively been reduced to that of being a 3rd class citizen. Our education system is almost entirely to blame for this, like it teaches young women that there are far more exciting things to do in life than having babies. Replacing our children with low IQ third world imports will just destroy the very fabric of our society. There has to be a better way.
Michael Copeland says
Population replacement.

Merkel wants to atone for Hitler by replacing him with a multitude of even more rabid anti-Semites.
gravenimage says
Yup.
Buford says
Merkel is the one person who should be held accountable for all the negative things going on in Germany Increases in Terrorism Rapes committed by refugee’s bringing in a million refugee’s whose Birth rate is high already will in time overtake the German Population & will turn it into an Islamic 3rd world Country then you have the media portraying the picture of a white & Brown kid dressed in Western clothes which is UN-realsitic because the Moselems do not assimilate in any country they Invade they expect the hosting country to change & accept
the Quran, Sharia Law & all the other phony crap associated with this nonsense belief
Dom107 says
Merkel and her party should pay a heavy price for this brainless naivety
which will affect Europe terribly in the years to come. If the German people don’t eject these idiots at the coming election in 2017 they are repeating the foolishness they displayed in 1933 when they voted for an obsessed failed painter called Hitler.
Only the AfD are saying the things which will put Germany back on the road of sanity and reverse mad Merkel’s bizarre and unpatriotic policies.Don’t be fooled by anything she says now to save that ugly fat hide of hers.!!!
Byzantium1683 says
I don’t think we need a baby boom if it’s fuelled by rape.
Hah. One second they say “too many people in this world, don’t have kids” then they say “migrants will fix our lack of kids problem”
I would like to see the same plan france had before ww2, which is offer incentives for (Native) families. I don’t know how successful it would be, but worth a try.
So stupid to moan about overpopulation when your countries are the only ones NOT driving population growth. (Japan too, which has dropped a million people since little immigration to mask the decay)
Judi says
Just what I was thinking. Probably a large percentage of the births are the result of rapes.
Arthur Simon says
Check out the history of Iceland, where they had a similar problem. The then ruler was able to establish a program in which every girl who bore a child, in or out of wedlock, received recognition and a monetary prize. I think Hitler did something like that in an effort to boots the % of Aryan kids in the German population. Anyway, the Icelandic program de-stigmatized illegitimate kids and changed the national culture in a major way without importing trouble from the middle east.
Charles says
Merkel is turning out to be as bad for Germany as was Adolf Hitler!
If the Germans don’t get rid of these muslims now, they have no hope of recovery.
davej says
“Much needed” by who? As automation and robotics are poised to take over the majority of service jobs, including food prep, taxi and truck driving, retail (moving on line), do we really need an influx of inbred unskilled migrants with low IQs who will predictably tax the welfare state rather than contribute? Particularly a group that is dedicated to replacing our democratic system with a medieval theocracy.
Who benefits? I would argue that it is the Corporations who manufacture consumer goods, from diapers to detergents to cars and smartphones. They are the ones worried about a declining consumer population and they care not about the religion, color or intelligence of the imported replacements. It is just math to them and since they fund and influence governments and own the Media they are able to advance these policies.
This is the unseen hand urging us to “welcome refugees” and the Corporate funded politicians, eager for more docile voters, do their bidding. You and I will not be consulted on this matter.
This is no longer the frontier with untapped resources and large labor intensive building projects. It is a country with declining incomes and record housing costs where most of the manufacturing jobs have disappeared and the service jobs are about to do the same.
Why do we need more immigrants of any variety? It’s probably safe to say that the majority of the world’s impoverished population would like to move in but what would the West look like after adding another billion or so 3rd worlders?
bleeps says
It’s time to disolve UN and UNHCR division as its politics seems war, social unrest and theocracy undercover! All studies on UNHCR seem to point out an Agenda of taking control by a foreign entity( WE ALL KNOW WHO) and then aplying extreme theocratic changes (like after unholy book) to either create a war or supress a certain mass of population by genocidal policies. The best example stands in Europe in Serbia, former Yugoslav leader state. Beware of what you sow for that it is what you reap!
Peter says
Western populations multiplied with industrialization. If we are in a post-industrial era, we don’t necessarily need to maintain our populations at current levels. The Japanese have opted for robotics rather than immigrants. Whatever their motivation, that is an option for the West, too.
Why bring in millions of low-skilled immigrants when most European societies have millions of unemployed? Why bring in millions of Muslim immigrants when two-thirds of Muslims worldwide want to live under Islamic law, and one can assume that two-thirds of those immigrants will support, if not actively work towards, the destruction of the Western societies that give them entry??? I’ve met no one who voluntarily ingests life-sucking parasites, have you?
If immigrants are necessary, then bring in non-Muslims from the Americas, Africa and Asia who will integrate, contribute, and add value, not hate, rape, engage in violence, and seek the destruction of our ways of life.
Angemon says
“Foreign-born mothers”, eh? “Foreign” is a big place there – how many of those mothers came from other European nations or from the American continent?
Veka Fitzfrancis says
I wonder if he means by rape? But the Germans have abortion, so it must be through the invasion of young military aged men pretending to be teenagers, But many of these men don’t have their sex slaves, I.E. wives with them yet, so it must be by rape.
ILIA TOLI says
Bloomberg time and again publicizes the idyllic life of White couples without children. Now they are all-in for the children of invaders. Most importantly, the nation-state. When the state loses its national character, it disintegrates. We’ve seen this too many times.

Bloomberg Businessweek: “Europe’s Migrant Flood Brings Germany a Much-Needed Baby Boom”
………………………
This would be like saying the Roman Empire experienced a much-needed baby boom due to high birth rates among Attila the Hun’s people…
Chinese says
Thats a Jihadi Boom.
Western countries need smaller populations as they are crowded.
Smaller population means more resources spread between each person but less taxes for the elite.

Glad I ordered my german pellet rifle. Don’t know if the new german craftsmanship will be the same in a few years.
BLC says
Surely low birth rates in a population are preferable to high birth rates of undesirables.
TheBuffster says
It’s flabbergasting, isn’t it? Solve a problem by looking at the problem and the proposed solution out-of-context, without inquiring into pertinent facts. Ignore the specifics.
Problem: population shrinkage.
Solution: import people who make lots of babies. End of thought.
Problem: I’m dying of thirst:
Solution: Here is some clear liquid in a bottle. I will drink it without sniffing it or reading the label.
