Rakhine state officials say limit on children will help ease tensions with Buddhists, whose population is growing at slower rate

The two-child policy will be mandatory in Buthidaung and Maundaw provinces, Photograph: Damir Sagolj/ReutersMuslims in a province of Burma have been ordered not to have more than two children in an attempt by the government to stop Buddhist attacks on Muslims.
State officials said the two-child limit in the state of Rakhine would ease tensions between Buddhists and their Muslim Rohingya neighbours.
Local officials said the new measure was part of a policy that will also ban polygamy in two Rakhine townships that border Bangladesh and have the highest Muslim populations. The townships, Buthidaung and Maundaw, are about 95% Muslim.
I like the spirit of this law. Muslims will complain, and say the Buddhists should themselves have larger families. But that raises the question why Muslims don’t have a problem with their enemies BREEDING. Well, likely because then Buddhism would start to resemble Islam, as well as causing overpopulation. Muslims will retort that overpopulation is impossible, because Allah would provide for his creatures. But if an INFINITE God provides an INFINITE amount of resources for his creatures, He would create a second God, wouldn’t He?
However, if Muslims have too few children, they will need euthanasia programmes in the end, just like the Buddhists who have too few children. Therefore, why not instate a maximum age? Of course, enemies will have a lower maximum age then friendly people. If we were to impose a maximum age on both Somali women and men, let us say around forty, this will effectively end the disgusting ritual of pharaonic circumcision, that is, clitoridectomy, followed by radical labiaplasty, ended by infibulation.
I doubt if this will work but it is a good start.
