We hear much about how there are a billion muslims in the world. How many muslims in theocratic muslim nations even have a CHOICE in the matter? Other religious traditions are suppressed by death penalty, abuse, torture, and law. And conversion away from the faith of Islam can lead to death and persecution even above what is directed at the kufir who never followed Islam.

I just checked several sources about the Muslim population by country. The USA has a little over 3 million Muslims, which ranks it about 45th in the world. So much for our genius president.

I have a friend who told me he thought women are treated better under Islam than Christianity. I couldn’t believe he was serious but he meant it.

Tortured Bable Fish Translation:

Its implication in the Middle East.

For Barack Obama, which must make Thursday in Cairo an important speech of reconciliation with the Muslim world, “the United States and the western world must learn with better knowing l’ Islam. D’ elsewhere, if l’ the d’ number is counted; Moslem Americans, it is seen that the United States is l’ one of the largest Moslem countries of planet”, dares it in an interview with Canal +, the first granted to French media.

Before d’ to add: “What j’ try to make, c’ is to create a better dialogue so that the Muslim world can better include/understand how the United States, but more generally the western world, conceives certain difficult problems, such as terrorism or the democracy

That goes along with his Muslim faith, I mean his Christian faith. Remember that one with Stephanopolous?

Then he bows to the Saudi king.

Nothing to see here.

He's not a pretender. He's not a fascist. He's not a usurper.

Just move along.

That was the same source I used to come up with my estimate of the US Muslim population at somewhere over 3 million and about 45th in the world. You used the list that shows ranking by country, but that list has different figures than the list I used, which lists the countries alphabetically. But regardless of which list is used, the USA is nowhere near one of the top Muslim population countries in the world. So here’s another gaffe by the president that will go unreported, but which would be the source of endless guffaws if GW Bush had uttered it.

Yep, he said it. He was talking about numbers. If you look at it as the number of muslims in America, we’re one of the largest muslim countries in the world. The key word is “if.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_the_United_States

According to a 2007 survey,[11] the following is the order of religious preferences in the United States:

Christian: (78.4%)
Protestant (51.3%)
Roman Catholic (23.9%)
LDS (1.7%)
Jehovah’s Witness (0.7%)
Orthodox (0.6%)
other Christian (0.3%)
no religion (16.1%)
Jewish (1.7%)
Buddhist (0.7%)
Muslim (0.6%)
Hindu (0.4%)
other (1.2%)

Where did zero learn his math skills. I think 79% is a much bigger percentage than 0.6%.

That’s what I’m wondering, too. In the French text it looks like he’s there to commemorate D Day but my French isn’t very good. Still, I know that’s his plan, and if this is at all connected with the D Day speech it’s even more disturbing. I’m guessing this is something he never thought would reach the U.S.

“certain difficult problems, such as terrorism or democracy”

Democracy is on the same level as terrorism?

Only under Islam would a warlord wait 3 years to consumate his marriage to a pre-teen wife.
