I Do Not Live In A Muslim Nation
The Cypress Times ^ | 06/05/2009 | Jeannie St. John Taylor

Posted on 06/06/2009 7:15:52 AM PDT by Patriot1259

When Barack Obama assumed the office of President of the United States I committed to pray for him, and I do. I also decided to love him and refuse to criticize him, but when he says it's important to note that "if you actually took the number of Muslim Americans, we'd be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world" . . . WHAT?!

Here we go again.

Though it's not difficult to manipulate numbers and make them lie, I can't figure out a single way to twist the figures so that the president's statement even vaguely resembles truth. Check it out for yourself below.

Wikipedia lists statistics on general population as well as Muslim population, and the Wikipedia information matches the stats on several other Internet sites.

There are 194 countries in the world (195 if you count Taiwan); Wikipedia lists 175.

* Of those 175 o The United States has the third largest population, behind China and India o 124 countries have a higher percentage of Muslims than the U.S. o Only 51 have a lower percentage of Muslims than the U.S. o The U.S. ranks 30th in the actual number of Muslims -- because our population is huge. Many countries boast entire populations smaller than our individual cities. o 19 countries are 90% or higher Muslim o 59 countries are more than 20% Muslim o The U.S. is .8% Muslim (yes, point eight)

I found this in an online newspaper, The Cypress Times, it is an editorial response to President Obama's statement that the U.S. is one of the largest Muslim Nation's in the world.

“... U.S. is one of the largest Muslim Nation’s in the world.”

This is a “prediction”.......because by time this bastard is finished, we will have been over-run with these fanatical fascists.

“I can't figure out a single way to twist the figures so that the president's statement even vaguely resembles truth....”

The statement is a companion to his “America is not a Christian nation” line. The two remarks were MEANT by the utterer to be juxtaposed. Obama is a VICIOUSLY angry man and his 'Muslim nation' remark is a swipe..

The author is correct, but she does live in a world made up of all different faiths, as God intended.

There are lies and then there are democrat facts. Here we have a democrat fact. But it could maybe be a lie, depends on who gave the briefing and who was there and what day and what time of the day and whether are not the CIA was involved. ETC. etc.

Isn’t it just mind boggling?? How the population was so deceived.....I’m still trying to come to grips with it and with what ‘they’ve’ forced on us by their foolishly casted vote.

What is really disturbing about his statement that we are one of the largest Muslim nations in the world is that in an earlier statement he said we are not a Christian nation. The actual numbers support that we are a Christian nation so I thought his meaning was that we are religion neutral- as is popular PC crap these days. The problem is if he is claiming we are a Muslim nation, even by numbers- which is not true- then that leaves out the possiblity that he was claiming we are neutral in his earlier statement.

I’m seeing more and more muzz walking around the Chicago area covered head-to-toe with only a slit for the eyes to look out. They do that with complete impunity. Now, if I were to cover my face with only a slit for my eyes I would be arrested, unless it was 30 degrees below zero.

Zer0 also said he would do all in his power to fight any criticism of islam. Just watch, he will sign an executive order seeking to criminalize any such criticism.
