In an interview with France's Canal Plus Television that was released on Tuesday evening, President Obama suggested that the United States might be a Muslim country. (You can read the entire transcript at Canal Plus Television.)
Wait a minute! Does anyone in the media take the time to check Obama's facts or do they simply accept his facts as gospel? The U.S. in fact has less than 1% of the world’s Muslim population of an estimated 1 billion people. The top 50 Muslim nations by percentage is here (with Muslim population figures), and the United States is not even close to being a Muslim country, let alone close to being anywhere near the top 50.
With an estimated 5 million to 8 million Muslims, Muslims are less than 3% of the U.S. population. By sheer number, the United States is far behind Indonesia (213 million), Pakistan (156 million), and Bangladesh (127 million). And, at least 23 nations have more Muslims.
