White nationalists frame Muslim fertility as demographic warfare against the West [causal]

Much like conversion, white nationalists view high Muslim fertility rates as a form of jihad. White nationalists use violent rhetoric such as “literal baby boom” (Steyn 2008, xviii) and “war of the wombs” (Kilpatrick 2106, 131) to paint Muslim motherhood as weapon wielded against Western society. This concept of “baby jihad” objectifies Muslim women as baby-producing machines. In turn, these babies will bring about the ruin of Western society through stealth jihad to implement Sharia law, amongst other things such as genital mutilation, rapes, and persecution of Christians. These fears are exacerbated by an aging European population in contrast to a young Muslim population. Finally, migration is viewed as another type of demographic weapon.

XREF: Connects to demographic panic narratives like the 'Great Replacement' theory discussed in European far-right discourse.
