Interesting discussion. Let's ask ourselves a few logical questions.

Australia has a population of 20 million. Our muslim population is around 350,000. We have a regular census, on which we are asked to ID our religion. (It's not compulsory to answer.)

Your population is around 300 hundred millions.

How would it be possible that you only have say, four times as many muslims in your country as we do?

It just doesn't make sense to me. It's not logical. Australia is only settled and fertile around the coastline. Its Centre is mostly desert. Your continent is filled with towns and cities! (In Australia, ostriches, wild camels, wild donkeys and kangaroos populate more territory than we do.)

I think, if you sat down with a sharp pencil, and started with your industrial cities, one at a time, beginning with Dearborn...you would get to 1.5 million in a few minutes!

I could be wrong...but hey, there are around four hundred of them in ICELAND!

Reading the detailed citation from the folks at adherents.com, they are quite willing to accept a number twice as high as reported - just under 3 million or 1% of the population. Muzzies are highly concentrated in places like Dearborn, but all but nonexistent in the smaller cities and towns in much of the heartland. Just on an intuitive level, there are lots of small towns all over the country that have a couple of hundred people, almost all of whom will self-identify as Christians. That averages out the high muzzie concentrations in certain cities.
