Over 7 Million Muslims in the USA?

Mr. President,

In your speech in Egypt, you said the USA has over 7 million Muslims. You quoted this from Newsweek, who quoted a pro-Islam organization, who have no real statistics or surveys, only wild guesses. Independent researchers, including the Pew Research Center and The World Factbook, put the number at around 2 million, based on scientifically designed surveys. You are more than 3 times too high!

Please use credible sources when you make statements and policy decisions. To do otherwise is intellectually reckless.

Thank you.

Obama Blows a Great Chance!

Obama gave a "nice" speech in Egypt last week. However, he missed a great opportunity to tell the world what the USA has done for Muslims around the world!

1) Liberated Indonesian Muslims from Japan in WW2.
2) Liberated Kuwaiti Mulsims in Gulf War I.
3) Liberated moderate Afghani Muslims from the extremist, foreign Taliban.
4) Fed Somali Muslims.
5) Liberated northern Africa and Turkey from the Nazis.
6) Liberated moderate Muslims in Kosovo.
7) Pushed Israel many times to give the Palestians their own state and land.
8) Provided a country (our own) that Muslims are free to worship in.
9) Helped free Afghanistan from foreign invaders (the USSR) who wanted to destroy Islam and all religions.

I know there are others, but I can't think of them off the top of my head right now.

Why did Obama miss these? Who knows. Maybe because he didn't want to sound like we were tooting our own horn. However, if he's such a great communicator, he could make it sound friendly instead of bragging. As I said, IF he's such a great communicator.
