Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics has released its latest figures which show a marked decline in the growth of the Muslim population since 2000.
The Muslim percentage of the general population has dropped since 2000 indicating that the non-Muslim population is growing faster than its Muslim population and their population growth has dropped from 3.8 percent in 2000 to 2.5 percent. This growth rate however is still higher than either the Jewish population at 1.7 percent or the Christian population at 1.3 percent.
The average Muslim birth rate fell from 4.7 children per woman in 2000 to 3.5 children per woman now. That is still higher than the Jewish birth rate of 3.0 or the Christian birth rate of 2.0. The Israeli Muslim birth rate is higher than that of neighboring countries, Syria 3.0, Egypt 2.9, Turkey 2.0, Lebanon, 1.9, likely due to the superior economic situation in Israel for Muslims. A similar phenomenon occurs within the Muslim diaspora in the West.
The highest Muslim birth rate in Israel (5.5) is in its dangerous Southern Triangle of Arab villages and the lowest is in Tel Aviv (2.9).
29 percent of employed Muslim men work in construction, which is another reminder that attempts at interfering with the construction of Israeli towns and villages is economically devastating to its Muslim population. 39 percent of employed Muslim women work in education, which accounts for the weak economic position of Muslim women and their high birth rate.
62 percent of Israeli Muslims consider themselves religious, 22 not so religious and only 8 percent consider themselves irreligious.
Muslims are in mental decline.
Sorry (i began before writing late hours)
.I am going to refer the decline of the muslims in Israel.
As far as I am concerned the number should be more rather than less.
The decline maybe a blessing in disguize for Israel's JEWISH population.
The tiny country surrounded by a large Arab countries who's aim is the destruction of Israel that have not changed,or accepted the FACT Jews returned to their country of origine after after 64+ years bears witness to this malaise.
I rest my case.
Therefore,the more Islamists decline in numbers the better not only primarily for Jews,but Christians as well.

what a disappointing posting, in the bible you forgot that jesus said he is dying not because he cannot ask God to send him an angels to protect him but for the world peace. this is how wise God want the world to be, if you say now you are underestimating God’s power that something is beyond his control. and let me make a promise to you and your alike that if you dare die in your belief without converting to Islam, sure you are going to hell straight dont even dought it.
see ya on judgement day where jesus and the rest of God’s prophets are present then you know your stand.
how much do you want to bet some imam will cook up a story in Truther style, such as "omg Israel is feeding Muslims birth control in secret somehow" in response to this kind of news?
Wouldn't surprise me at all Mary Sue.
.The Arab/Muslims speak from both sides of their mouths ,not to mention the accusations thrown against Israel for all the WORLD'S ills blamed on poor & productive democratic Israel IS:
What I call : PURE JEALOUSY.
There they all them oil rich Ayrabs while having the wherewithall to advance toward the 21st century,are still living in the in the 7th century.
Chances are overwhelming. Let me give you an example – In Pakistan number of people who refuse to take Iodized salt in increasing rapidly because they think Iodized salt is a western conspiracy to mutate their gene pool rendering them impotent. Unfortunately, since soil is washes up frequently, natural iodine content in their diet is not sufficient to prevent disorders. Seems pathetically ignorant and stupid, but true to the word and visible evidence of swollen glands supports it well. So yes, entirely possible.
Keep up the genocide you might get rid of them all, but it is your kid going to pay dearly for it.
what genocide are you talking about?
The genocide going on now is the radical muslim extremists trying to murder all the Jews as if they were trying to finish what Hitler started.
Dear Mary Sue, The huge mistakes made By Palistanian Muslims by giving shelter to Jews when Hitler was wiping them. After the conquest of Arabia by Holy Prophet Mohammed there was no opression on jews .They were rich people & Muslims were day labourers used to work for jews even after Islam came in to force. Holy Prophet was the first Holy Prophet to establish a welfare state. He introduced income tax on Rich Jews. But the jews are so misers that they donot want to help Muslims
or Christians & therefore they gradually left Arabia, every one has right to co exist but not plundering other lands as Jews do in Israel. Jews help none but only Jews. Let us wait & see if Palestanians are helped by ALMIGHTY GOD in the forthcoming future.
what you are talking you no information muslims are not you think you have look out information
agree or not muslims are not extremists may ALLAH show the truth
The segment of the Israeli population with the highest birth rate is the ultra religious orthodox. Their yearly population increase is 4 pct. In time their numbers will dominate all Israel and also the west bank . Its a shame they contribute the least if at all to Israels betterment. On the contrary they are Israels greatest burden. The least educated and dedicated to them selves only. If Israel ever fails as a nation the fault will be mostly theirs.The old testament says the Jewish people should defend the land that Hashem gave them. But they refuse to do so in time they will be punished.
