Jeremy Clarkson, 65, warns Christianity is ‘in danger’ as he shares alarming Islam statistic
Jeremy Clarkson has issued a sobering verdict about global declining birth rates and what it could mean for the future.
The 65-year-old pulled no punches in laying out the comparisons between different parts of the world.
Writing in his column for The Sun, Clarkson reacted to recent findings that the shrinking number of children being born across the world was imperilling the future of humanity.
The research found that, in order to avoid extinction, “women with wombs” would need to “get busy” as they would mathematically be required to produce 2.7 children on average.

However, the global average is a dangerously low 1.44. The United Kingdom lies just above it, with 1.54 births per woman, while nations on the continent dip even further, with comparable European economies like Germany and the Netherlands hovering just on the global average.
Birth rates across the West make for even grimmer reading, with the Canadian fertility rate at a low 1.33 and Italy’s on 1.21.
Some of the lowest birth rates on the planet can be found in East Asia, with Japan’s 1.21, China’s 1.02 and South Korea critically low 0.75 births per woman.
Clarkson was keen to focus on the practically universal collapse of fertility in the “Christian world” when compared to other cultural blocs.
He commented that births below replacement levels: “Might be the case in the Western world but in Muslim countries, each woman has on average 3.1 kids.”
“So it’s not the human race that’s in danger. Just the Christian bit of it,” he wrote.
Muslim countries boast some of the highest averages of children per woman on the planet, with Afghanistan 4.66 fertility rate, Mali’s 5.42, Somalia’s 5.91 – humanity’s second highest.
Majority Muslim country Chad boasts the highest fertility rate on the planet, with an astonishing 5.94 births per woman, yet is also a 40 per cent Christian country.
Most theorists point to economic development as a major factor in determining fertility rates, with low-income countries averaging a 4.38 while high-income countries only average a low 1.47 births per woman.
Clarkson’s prediction is his latest in grave predictions. Earlier this year, the 65-year-old revealed he was “becoming more and more convinced” that Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Chancellor Rachel Reeves had a “sinister plan” for Britain.
“They want to carpet bomb our farmland with new towns for immigrants and net zero windfarms. But before they can do that, they have to ethnically cleanse the countryside of farmers,” he warned.
His comments came amid continuing fury over the Government’s decision to slap British farmers with a major extra inheritance tax increase.
