To support those numbers, they'd have to be doing it like rabbits!! Did you stop and think about the numbers?


By all means, let us think about the numbers.

Rough estimates: 20,000 - 30,000 in the late eighties, less than 40,000 today. Say 25M then, 38M now.

(38 - 25) / 25 = 13/25 = 52% increase

This is obviously working with very rough estimates, because if the true figures were 30M then, 38M now, then its 32% increase.

Figures for Iranian population

1986 census: 49.4 million *
1991 census 55.8 million *
2006 estimate 68.8 million **

or a 38% increase over the same time period. All of Iran is "breeding like rabbits" The Jewish figures, even if one could use them (they sound more like wild guesses than statistics) fall right in line with overall population trends.
