Is The U.S. "One Of The Largest Muslim Countries In The World"?

83% of us proclaim ourselves to be Christians.

But, that didn't stop Seizer O'Bumma from proclaiming we are "one of the largest Muslim countries in the world."

In his dreams, I guess.

Problem is, he has the power to go some way to making his dreams become reality.

I do not believe Obama is a Muslim Manchurian Candidate, but I do believe he loves Islam, and identifies it with much that is good in the world. And, I believe he also subscribes to the "Can't we all just get along" theory of Geo-politics, which seems to stipulate that if we were all forced to live together and acknowledge each others "common interests", we would, indeed, be able to get along.

Therefore, wishes are fishes for Obama. The man seems to really want us to be more Muslim, because, you know, then we'd like Islam better, and Islam would have an opportunity to show itself for the nice religion he believes it to be.

When are we going to wake up and see that Seizer is playing the closing Adagio of Western Civilization on his violin?

Enough already.

From Gateway:

Barack Obama told a French Canal Plus reporter that the US is one of the world's largest Muslim countries:

The US ranks way down the list at #41 among countries with Muslim populations-- behind Kazakhstan, Guinea and France.

Hail Seizer!



Roger Simon adds this:

Obama practices taqiyya on French TV

Le Monde is reporting that Barack Obama told France’s Canal + Tuesday that “les Etats-Unis sont l’un des plus grands pays musulmans“. My French is not as good as it used to be, but I sure know what that means without recourse to a dictionary or Google: The United States is one of the largest Muslim countries on the planet.

Is that the USA of the 57 states?

I guess it depends on what your definition of “one of” is. According to Wikipedia, the US ranks thirty-eighth with a Muslim population of some 4.5 million (about one and half percent of our population - others, such as Pew, see it as even smaller). Indonesia is first at over two hundred and seven million.

Our leader goes on to remonstrate with our citizenry about educating ourselves about Islam, which is, in his words, a religion that has always “evolved along with progress.” I suppose that’s true if you disregard women’s rights, gay rights and the basic democratic need for the primacy of state law for all citizens, not to mention a host of other values we could group under the rubric of the Enlightenment. 

The problem with Obama’s implication that we are not educated about Islam is that he is dead wrong. Many of us now are - by necessity. We know the difference between the Medina and Mecca Korans (and their views of jihad), between Sunni and Shiite and so forth. We also know what dhimmi law is… and taqqiya.

For those of you who have missed it, here is a definition of taqiyya - again from Wikipedia: The word “al-Taqiyya” literally means: “Concealing or disguising one’s beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and/or strategies at a time of imminent danger, whether now or later in time, to save oneself from physical and/or mental injury.” A one-word translation would be “dissimulation.”

The WikiIslam defines it as “sanctified hypocrisy.” That is Barak Obama to a T. He uses taqiyya constantly, as on French TV when he claimed the US was one of the biggest Muslim nations, and recently to avoid having our government adhere to agreements it made with the state of Israel during the Bush administration. Or maybe it was our State Department practicing taqiyya in his behalf. In any case, it comes to the same thing.

UPDATE: The CIA Factbook has the Muslim population of the US even lower at 0.6%. Whatever the case, it’s small. 

MORE: It turns out may have been confusing Muslim with Buddhist. Again according to Wikipedia, the number of Buddhists in the USA is 6,039,800.
