| The 8-Million Muslim Lie |
| 2007-01-19 |
| Since Muslim Keith Ellison's election to Congress, there's been a lot of noise in the media about the growing clout of the 8 million-Muslim electorate. Eight million? 'There are 8 million Muslims in America now," boasted a spokeswoman for something called the Muslim Advancement Society. She appeared on CNN to talk about what a proud day it was for her and other Muslim-Americans to see a Muslim brother sworn into Congress for the first time. It seems the size of the Muslim population in America jumps by an additional million every other year or so. Just a couple of years ago the consensus number bandied about in the media was 7 million. Before 9/11 it was 6 million. |

| #6 1-to-3 ratio is common ratio used by several Fed State Agencies vv population demographics/ stratums, espec for INTERNAL, PRELIMINARY = START-UP PLANNING - however, it must be clarified that any final count is wholly subjective = not considered final. Its quantitative utility/usefulness is the eye of the Beholder/User of the tally data. |

| #4 I'd heard another number that was heavily based on the number of Arabs in the US but of course included the Christian Arabs who fled Muslim intolerance to come here in the first place. The Muslims also want desperately to claim they have more people in America than the Jews. |
