[JERUSALEMONLINE] A few days ago President B.O., in an interview he gave La Belle 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 Moslem country. He said that the number of Moslems residing in the US makes it "one of the biggest Moslem nations". Don't he wish!
In reality the US has one of the smallest percentages of Moslems of any Western country. The number of Moslems 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 Moslems in the world, the number of Moslems in the US is approximately 0.3% of the world Moslem 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.
By President B.O.'s yardstick, La Belle France, Germany, the UK, Spain, Italia and Holland should all be regarded as "Moslem nations". In La Belle France, which has the biggest Moslem population in Europe, its 4.5 - 5 million Moslems account for 7.5% of the population. In most other Western European countries, Moslems account for approximately 3%-5% of the population.
