131. discussion on the Catholic Channel about the Birth Rate 
I was channel surfing the other day and heard a question on
what I call the Catholic channel that verified a suspicion of
mine. They asked one of the ministers if they were concerned
about the falling birth rate in Europe and the rising birth
rate among Muslims.  They wanted to know if they were
concerned that Christians would be in the minority soon.  I
think this whole thing is about the politics of birth rate. 
Sounds like a losing game to me.
