It is 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". So says President Barack Obama.
The average claim for the US Muslim population is about six million. The precise figure is difficult to get because it's not included in US census data and many put the figure at much, much less.
But even if we assume there are six million Muslims in the US, that makes it only the 34th biggest Muslim country in the world - behind Indonesia, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Turkey, Egypt, Iran, Nigeria, China, Ethiopia, Algeria, Morocco, Afghanistan, Sudan, Iraq, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, Yemen, Tanzania, Syria, Malaysia, Niger, Senegal, Ghana, Tunisia, Somalia, Guinea, Kenya, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Burkina Faso and Tajikistan.

1) where did the "average claim of 6M" come from ... huh?
2) Did you want him to say we are the 35th. largest if in fact the 6M number is right.

First, trust me ... 8 years ago was not critical of Bush yet ... I was open minded enough to consider voting for him ( I did not and either did a vast majority of Americans) and I gave him my support until he 1) stopped funding embroyonic stem cell research 2) supported a constitutional admendment banning same sex marriage and 3) launched the Iraq war. I gave him tons of leeway and still today would love to meet the guy and sit down and talk and would show him the ultimate respect. You on the other hand are so classless that you are acting just like Rush ... are you calling Sotomayor a racist too? You want Obama to fail which means our country will fail etc ...
