Here's the stats for the US
Birth rate: 14.18 births/1,000 population (2008 est.)
Death rate: 8.27 deaths/1,000 population (2008 est.)
Here's the stats for Swaziland (they have the highest death rate)
Birth rate: 26.6 births/1,000 population (2008 est.)
Death rate: 30.7 deaths/1,000 population (2008 est.)
And here's the stats for the UAE (they have the lowest death rate)
Birth rate: 16.06 births/1,000 population (2008 est.)
Death rate: 2.13 deaths/1,000 population (2008 est.)
As you can see the birthrate of the US and the UAE are pretty close. However people in the UAE die a lot less. Also, while the Birthrate of Swaziland is significantly higher than the other two, their death rate is even more significantly higher.

Muslim nations have very high birth rates...please don't try to deny that.
Also, no, those 2 million people don't all live at the SAME time, of course, that's ridiculous.
But mathematically it can not be denied that if you have only TWO kids in the future, that the most likely scenario (look, your offspring could have a *dozen* kids each, I don't know....which would be MANY MILLIONS more people!) is that TWO MILLION more people, over the not really too distant future, will be harming the environment.
Shocking, no?
