No argument here, but I think it's a little simplistic to chalk up sectarian violence strictly at the feet of overpopulation.

Mankind has probably done more damage to the Earth in the 20th century than in all of previous human history…

It’s terrible to have to say this.  World population must be stabilized and to do that we must eliminate 350,000 people per day.  This is so horrible to contemplate that we shouldn’t even say it.  But the general situation in which we are involved is lamentable.
