re: #376 Onslow

“And one of the points I want to make is, is that if you actually took the number of Muslim Americans, we’d be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world.’”

The notion that a country which contains .16% of the world’s Muslims has one of the largest Muslim populations is unutterably stupid.

[2,350,000/1,449,765,439]*100=.16%

He didn’t say “if you took the percentage of Muslims,” he said “if you took the number of Muslims.” And as I’ve pointed out twice now, this statement, while it may be a bit of a reach, is NOT false. By number of Muslims, the US is in the top third of the world’s countries.
