Ahmad Magdoub from the Arab Research Social Research Center in Egypt was interviewed by the UAE Islamic TV channel, Al-Majd TV, on June 3, 2004. Magdoub spoke against family planning in the Islamic world and advised the population towards a high birth rate for political purposes. Following are excerpts from his comments:

Ahmad Al-Magdoub: We know that Western culture allows girls, who have reached adulthood to leave their family and become independent. The latest American statistics show that 30% of the children in the US are born to 14 year-old girls. There is a phenomenon there: There is a dangerous (increase) in single motherhood.

The question is why? I will speak about the phenomenon in Egypt. They use Egypt as you would use a hook to hang all their negative elements and failures on it. And so, they are using the birth rate. You will be surprised to know that Germany, France, Italy, the North American countries such as the US… European countries grant Egypt large sums of money for family planning. Meaning, with a clear goal of reducing the birth rate. And they give Israel nuclear submarines and the newest tanks. Meaning, they fight us on two fronts, they reduce our numbers and strengthen Israel with weapons.
