re: #363 Ziggy_TARDIS

Muslims don’t know how many Muslims are in the US.

Seriously. It is somewhere between 3-7 million, depending on the poll. I am skeptical it is the lower amount, because I have read that there are 800k in the NYC Metro alone, and I don’t think we are that heavily concentrated in one place.

And how many True Muslims?

Really.

There are those people who simply look on Islam (or any religion) as part of their cultural heritage, observe the holidays and general precepts, but are not strict in its observance.

Then there are those who are more strict in their religious observances, but would not think of forcing it on anyone.

Then there are those who would force their religious beliefs on us by law, and those who would force them on us through acts of violence.

It is only the latter two groups who should be of concern to us, but people like DT and TC are ready to lump them all together…and then put them under surveillance to prevent “radicalization”.
