Pardon the presumption, but based on the name, probably a man of an Islamic tradition, which values children as blessings and gifts from God.

I have seen an alarming rise in propaganda in Western media, which depict motherhood and parenthood as drudgery and a chore, a thankless job that nobody wants anymore. Pregnancy and childbirth are depicted as the worst thing that can happen to you, try to avoid it, but ugh here's my horror story about barely surviving it so I can warn you away. Children shown as burdens, as little terrors, as "another mouth to feed" that definitely parents can't afford two or one, much less a whole "litter full".

It seems like there is a movement bent on doing anything it can to prevent people from reproducing or forming strong, committed and faithful families (and they have plenty of other strategies I don't need to mention here), and frankly, it's working a treat currently! Good job!

Yes, I agree a sentiment against having more children is dominant mainstream. My experience has been that more and more people are ignoring this sentiment and going after it.

It’s an idividual thing and for myself I’m grateful to have as many kids as God gives me.

There is no shortage of people or children on the planet. Having children -- if you live a western lifestyle -- is the most destructive thing a person can do, in regard to carbon emissions and damage to the earth. What about your duty to protect the Earth, that God gave you? Why not adopt? There is a shortage of children that need parents. Wouldn't God prefer that you do that?
