"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." --- Winston Churchill

While the woman you're so virulently deriding does indeed have a great many children, this is no more significant than someone having only one. Many people willingly sterilize themselves, some have only one child, some have two, some have ten.
Speaking as an anthropologist, her children are not competing with you for resources, as you do not live with her or her offspring and therefore are not in a situation for them to take anything from you. Sure, the world is being depleted of its natural resources, but I would look to the government, large corporations, and- and try to stay with me on this, here- citizens of third-world nations who have to exploit the environment in harmful ways because they have no other way to make a living. (I'm sure you'll disagree with me on that one, so please enlighten us with your impending plan of economic reconstruction. You do have one, right?)
Indeed, Habibe's children may take their world for granted. After all, they are children! However, their unconscious acceptance that they may use these "precious natural resources" is nothing compared to your rude behaviour and appalling, laughable attitude that said resources are specifically yours and that you are entitled to any more than any oher person.
It is fine and noble to believe in population control. Hell, I believe in it, myself. However, to attack a complete stranger for raising eight children with love and care, with them wanting for nothing, is disgusting and a serious overreaction. You need to chill out and think seriously about the things you do.
Oh, and if you want to go after someone for inciting overbreeding in poverty-stricken ares with no thought for ecological or economic repercussions, talk to the Pope.
