Burning Bush. Most Muslims live in the countryside in developing countries, girls, marriage at as young as 12 years old and men marriage at 19 years old. Also, men can have multiple wives. The average monogamous family has 7 or more children and polygamy family have 15 or more children. Also, the Muslims believe in only Islam religion must be world's religion and their Imams' encourage them to have more children and four wives even in countries like Australia. Polygamy is not permitted in Australia.
In Australia, the average Muslim family has 6 or more children compare to non-Muslim family has 1 or 2 children.
Also, the Christian woman and non-Muslim woman who has married to Muslim man must convert to Islam religion before they marry. So I am not surprised the Muslim population growth is faster than other faith followers. Also, the Islamic Countries prohibit its citizens' converting to another faith and ban practicing other religions in their countries.
Also, Most of the Muslim peoples are living in poor third world country and they need assistance from the non-Muslim developed countries like the EU, Canada, Australia and the United State. The Muslim countries are over populated and poor.

"Unmarried males and females who are not close relatives should not eat and drink at the same table, because it is sinful according to Shariah law,"
Indonesians should rise up and say "Screw Shariah law!"

The imposition of backward ideas is all about oil and gas?
Malaysia recently caned two lesbians. Was that all about oil and gas?
Don’t you think religious ideas play a role?

It’s always about oil and gas. This region is rife with colonial history by the Dutch and later the US. Let them have their freedom. If they want to put more control over the population have add it.

Stop making people’s lives miserable.
If you want to live according backward values, do it. Just keep it to yourself.

Sharia Law will spread as Indonesia becomes even more conservative.
