[SIZE="3"]Lebanese Journalist Uqab Saqr Explains High Birth Rate among Lebanese Shiites {and also the second and third reasons...}
A more important reason was the neglect and deprivation of the Shiite sect, which led it to rely on its numbers, and to prefer tribal values over the values of the state. {same thing, for every suicide bomber the family gets money and lots of it}
When people accept the civil institution of the state, they feel protected by state institutions, and do not need to give birth to many children. {right, now fighting, no terrorism, and they can just allow their children to grow up without a vest strapped to them...}

The Shiites are reacting to a feeling that they are being marginalized in the general Lebanese society and in the Sunni Arab-Islamic society. {These are otherwise know as consequences to criminal activity}

That is why they relied on a high birthrate in Lebanon, and maybe in Iraq and other places. [more children= more amunition=future terrorists]
This does not mean that the Shiite sect is backward. {snicker-snicker, oh heck no!:wtf: }
Backwardness characterizes the peripheral regions in Lebanon, and in most of the Arab world, where the center controls the periphery.{GEEESH, get real backwardness is a nice description, l can think of many that are way more appropriate, like theiving murderers...}.{okay so now answer the question...come on...well here is why, the fella doesn't beleive in birth control!!! He is probably a randy ol' toothless goat-herder with a little girl for a wife}
Interviewer: What is the reason, lack of awareness?

Uqab Saqr: If a person cannot memorize his children's names in order, how can he give them affection?
