The carrying capacity wasn't high enough. The reason the world's population exploded in coincidence with the onset of the Industrial Revolution is because the previously impenetrable Malthusian limit was blown wide open. If two-thirds of India's population had been killed by Moslems, it would've been back to its previous level within three generations, or probably 50 years. Yet India in the 18th century before the Industrial Revolution had no more than 100 million.
I'm not saying that Islam isn't the deadliest ideology in the history of man—it is—but the death toll isn't nearly that high. A more reasonable figure is 270 million, the estimate of Dr. Bill Warner.
