REVrant 50.1 - America is NOT One of the Largest Muslim Countries in the World!

One of Largest Muslim Countries in the world? 

Here’s the latest from President Obama –> 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".  Read the link above and draw your own conclusions.  It seems to me that the President is trying to make nice with Muslims.  All well and good, I suppose, so long as he tells the truth.  And the truth is that we are not a Muslim country, nor one of the largest.

Here’s some figuring, based on whether there are 6 million Muslims in the U.S., or 1.8 million.  (There is debate about how many Muslims are in the U.S.) 

IF 6 MILLION…

But even if we assume there are six million Muslims in the US, that makes it only the 34th biggest Muslim country in the world - behind Indonesia, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Turkey, Egypt, Iran, Nigeria, China, Ethiopia, Algeria, Morocco, Afghanistan, Sudan, Iraq, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, Yemen, Tanzania, Syria, Malaysia, Niger, Senegal, Ghana, Tunisia, Somalia, Guinea, Kenya, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Burkina Faso and Tajikistan.

IF 1.8 MILLION…

UPDATE 2: A reputable survey by Pew 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.

For fun, just imagine if the President had said, “If you actually took the number of Christian Americans, we’d be one of the largest Christian countries in the world.”  (Which, for the record, would be a true statement, since there are over 75% of Americans who claim to be "Christian.")
