Ok..so why did you write :

"There are plenty of Islamic countries with low fertility rates"

and included sri-lanka in the below list?

I get your point about "Poor countries" and "high fertility rate". I agree that all (or majority) of the countries with high fertility rate are poor.

I would also add to that : Many poor countries can also have low fertility rate. For example : Bangladesh...fertility rate is 2.2 and we know that it is one of the poorest country in the world.
