Barack Hussein Obama: The USA is “one of the largest Muslim countries in the world.”
June 3, 2009 · By Greg Farries
What country does Obama think he’s the President of?
It is important to note that “if you actually took the number of Muslim Americans, we’d be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world”.
Huh? Perhaps he’s banking on no one in the Muslim world actually fact checking his pandering act:
Debbie Schlussel cites a reputable survey by Pew that puts the number of Muslims in the US at 1.8 million. This would make it the 48th biggest Muslim country, after the above list plus France, Libya, Jordan, Israel, Turkmenistan, Uganda, Kyrgyzstan, Mauritania, Germany, Kuwait, Oman, Eritrea, Lebanon and Serbia and Montenegro – and just above Britain, which would be the 50th.

Update: Here is exactly what Obama said:
Now, the flip side is I think that the United States and the West generally, we have to educate ourselves more effectively on Islam. And one of the points I want to make is, is that if you actually took the number of Muslims Americans, we’d be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world. And so there’s got to be a better dialogue and a better understanding between the two peoples.
Yeah, his math is a wee bit off there. Based on what I could find, the muslim population in the United States is 0.6% of the total population. Not a very impressive number. Canada’s percentage is 1.9%.

A “wee bit off”?
The man who wouldn’t allow his middle name to be used during the campaign or hijab-wearing American women to be photographed behind him on the dais, is now pandering to Muslims. What a joke Oyammera is.
“if you actually took the number of Muslims Americans, we’d be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world.
“And so there’s got to be a better dialogue and a better understanding between the two (TWO?) peoples.”
At least BHO is admitting that Muslims in America don’t consider themselves American.
That’s a step forward in his thinking don’t you think?
Thanks for repeatedly mentioning his middle name. It is obviously important to what is in his mind and heart. Kinda like “Harper”…you know, he Harps.
Silvernails, Obama has not “banned” his name. That is silly. Good try though.
Its like shooting fish in a barrel it is so silly in here.
I mentioned it once, how is the “repeatedly mentioning his middle name”?
Speak for yourself, you’re the one foolishly spouting off.
Props for mentioning the teleprompter. I was beginning to think you were not obsessed with that story.
Seriously, where is your sense of humour?
Hey aa! Better attend a meeting. I did not use the word “banned”. You did.
The teleprompter IS and will be an issue as long as applesauce -for-brains who listen to the lame scream media continue to spout the mantra that Oyammer is a “great orator”. LOL! He can’t put one sentence together without his little electronic aid.
I attended a cocktail party last weekend. Someone mentioned that Oyammer is a “great speaker”. Just because you hear it repeatedly on the NBC network, doesn’t make it true. Obeyme is a dunce. Even Katie Couric can’t help him there.
