Dear Ejaz,
The above are my personal views looking at the muslims around me. If you don't agree with the same please correct me.
I have gone through the report, it talks about the statistics however it don't talk about the reasons which I have tried to put above.
The area where I stay have 60% muslim population. Be my guest and I will take you to places like Bandra plot to back my claim. The auto guy is a very small exaple out of them.
Did I say that? I am saying that is what mullah's and self proclaimed muslim leaders tell people.
Rapid Population Growth, another Reason for Muslim Backwardness
In their sinister design to outnumber all other non-Muslim population, Muslims try swell their number through fast-breeding, which would aid their capture of political power and establishment of Islamic rule. Due to this reason, compounded by religious scruples, they deliberately reject family planning measures; instead, they try to produce as many children as possible; the culture of polygamy also helps the process. An example may be cited to make the reader aware about what horrible dimension this effort may reach to. In a The Times of India press report, dated 26 June 2007 , a Muslim couple in Rajasthan produced 23 children in their 24-year married life. A friend informed me that that a Muslim man has produced 29 children out of his two wives in the state of West Bengal .

Indian Muslims: Myth and Reality | Indian Muslims

I'm actually ok with BJP as they have accepted the Sachar committee as factual. But I was speaking more in general about the extremist organisations who perpetuate myths
Even the second source you posted backs my assertions
Fact is that highest number of bigamous marriages take place among tribals (about 14%) and Muslims are at the bottom with 5.6% bigamous marriages and upper caste Hindus have 5.8% bigamous marriages (according to the Government of India survey of 1974, the only all India survey ever conducted).
faithfreedom .org is a known Islamphobic website so I can understand where you got your misinformation from. Please go to Faithfreedom.com - exposing the lies and vile propaganda behind faithfreedom.org and secularislam.org that corrects many lies on that website.
I regularly attend the mosque and consider myself to be a devout muslim, not once have I heard in my life a religious scholar exhorting his congregation to have more kids. I would agree that there have been times where some would talk about Palestine and Iraq and against he US or some other realted issue that would not really help. But about 80-90% of the khutbas on friday are related to personal piety. Ofcourse this is in Hyderabad in Delhi the two places where I spent most of my time. But this is the general trend.
What I have realised is that there is a great deal of misconceptions between people and that can be removed only through interfaith dialogue. Not only in India but at a global level
