A few days ago President Obama, in an interview he gave France's Canal+ TV Channel, said that the American people need to be better educated about Islam, since US could and should be regarded as a Muslim country. He said that the number of Muslims residing in the US makes it "one of the biggest Muslim nations".
In reality the US has one of the smallest percentages of Muslims of any Western country. The number of Muslims in the US is approximately 4.5 million, 1.5% of the population, one of the smallest minorities in the US. Since there are approximately 1.5 billion Muslims in the world, the number of Muslims in the US is approximately 0.3% of the world Muslim population. By comparison there are between approximately 6 million Jews in the US, who account for approximately a third of the world's Jewish population. Whereas many Americans regard it as a society based on "Judeo-Christian values", it is doubtful if there is one sane American who would define it as a Jewish country.
and Obama is one of the leaders...

By President Obama’s yardstick, France, Germany, the UK, Spain, Italy and Holland should all be regarded as “Muslim nations”. In France, which has the biggest Muslim population in Europe, its 4.5 - 5 million Muslims account for 7.5% of the population. In most other Western European countries, Muslims account for approximately 3%-5% of the population.
The only EU citizens who regard their societies either as Muslim ones, or as societies that should be Muslim are those Muslim immigrants and the 2nd generation who have not succeeded in integrating into the societies in which they live, and as a result have become alienated from them. Even if half of Europe’s Muslims have this attitude (most likely the true number is far less), we are talking at most about 2%-3% of those countries.
India has 150 million Muslims (13%), making it the country with the world’s biggest Muslim minority, and the world’s third largest Muslim population after Indonesia and Pakistan. No Indian in their right mind, let alone the Prime minister would ever regard India as a Muslim country.
Obama is correct in saying that Americans should increase their knowledge and understanding of Islam. But from there to claiming America is a Muslim country seems to be a bit of a stretch, not supported by any facts.
Closet Muzzie Loose Lips Sink ships .. and Agendas.
Don’t think I’ll be able to take two more entire years of this JACKASS.
Omg... no USA is not a mooslimb country- Yet. This is a obungler wet dream!
God,would someone put a muzzle on this idiot.
.
He has a point... we definately have one too many Marxist, Mooslim, Kenyan, Steaming Pant Loads...
Future domestic peace and social cohesion demands that this number at most can not grow faster than other groups. Without even considering more Muslim immigration, the US is having an increasingly fractured politics and society. This phenomenon is our cancer.
He should know. He’s the head imam.
The words that I have for O’ cannot be used on FR or in mixed company.
I think this is a prelude to Obama flyinq the ISIS flaq from our White House. Everythinq he has done ends up helpinq those who want a worldwide caliphate.
Under Obama this country has become the exact opposite of everythinq it’s ever been.
bkmk
America is, and has been from the beginning, Anti-Muslim.

The Islamic population of the U.S. is about 4/5ths of 1%.
Funny I didn’t see that interview on the news. He is the anti-Christ.
From a muslim country to ebola country. Way to go, Barry....
Look America, look what liberalism has brought us.. beheadings and infections.
Up from about zero % of the population in 1950....
The "Musselmen" were never here until the 1965 Immigration Act opened the gates...and now we have things we never had before: New York being blown apart, a police state searching for mysterious "Terrorists" who turn out to be everyone EXCEPT the unseen, unknown and unmentionable perps...uhh, cough, "muslims...".
Yeah right. The U.S. is an Islamic state.
Will be when he gets finished with it...
