RE:11 Children in service of islam
by Mak C on Aug 31, 2007 11:58 AM

You do have a point, but the picture remains incomplete. No doubt this teacher has done damage in more than one way by having so many children whom he could not educate. Releasing them into society thus as prone to find easy money. Easy to be lured into world of intense crime. Daughters of such households are prone to either run away or are lured by rich old men as concubines or commit suicide as poverty plus lack of education is a curse. But money does not justify people producing more children because, if one is sensitive to the damage being done to the country due to an exploding population, aggravated by politicians unwilling to touch the subject, one would refrain from adding to it. Poverty continues, food, energy, education turns inadequate, ammenities are in shortage, quality of life is lower, value for humans is reduced, crime increases, development and growth of the nation is slower, etc etc all because of its runaway population. If we do not start controlling and reversing the growth, we are in very serious trouble. Today even the rich cannot justify a large family if he is a responsible citizen. The damage he does is not noticeable immediately but serious damage all the same.
