And one more paragraph from the NPR article:

Muslim countries, as I wish Breivik had taken time to absorb, are not immune to this phenomenon. As I’ve written many times, birth rates in Iran have come down so steeply that the Islamic Republic is aging far faster than any country in “old Europe.” Meanwhile, birth rates in Tunisia and Lebanon are also below replacement levels, and many other Muslim countries, from Turkey to Morocco, are just on the cusp. For better or for worse, subreplacement fertility is now a condition of modernity, not just of the Western civilization that Breivik proclaims to love even as he slaughters its children.
