Le Monde is reporting that Barack Obama told France’s Canal + Tuesday that “les Etats-Unis sont l’un des plus grands pays musulmans“. My French is not as good as it used to be, but I sure know what that means without recourse to a dictionary or Google: The United States is one of the largest Muslim countries on the planet.
Is that the USA of the 57 states?
I guess it depends on what your definition of “one of” is. According to Wikipedia, the US ranks thirty-eighth with a Muslim population of some 4.5 million (about one and half percent of our population – others, such as Pew, see it as even smaller). Indonesia is first at over two hundred and seven million.
Our leader goes on to remonstrate with our citizenry about educating ourselves about Islam, which is, in his words, a religion that has always “evolved along with progress.” I suppose that’s true if you disregard women’s rights, gay rights and the basic democratic need for the primacy of state law for all citizens, not to mention a host of other values we could group under the rubric of the Enlightenment. The problem with Obama’s implication that we are not educated about Islam is that he is dead wrong. Many of us now are – by necessity. We know the difference between the Medina and Mecca Korans (and their views of jihad), between Sunni and Shiite and so forth. We also know what dhimmi law is… and taqqiya.
For those of you who have missed it, here is a definition of taqiyya – again from Wikipedia: The word “al-Taqiyya” literally means: “Concealing or disguising one’s beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and/or strategies at a time of imminent danger, whether now or later in time, to save oneself from physical and/or mental injury.” A one-word translation would be “dissimulation.”
The WikiIslam defines it as “sanctified hypocrisy.” That is Barak Obama to a T. He uses taqiyya constantly, as on French TV when he claimed the US was one of the biggest Muslim nations, and recently to avoid having our government adhere to agreements it made with the state of Israel during the Bush administration. Or maybe it was our State Department practicing taqiyya in his behalf. In any case, it comes to the same thing.
UPDATE: The CIA Factbook has the Muslim population of the US even lower at 0.6%. Whatever the case, it’s small. [How big are the Scientologists?-ed. Here in Hollywood, a lot bigger than the Muslims.]
MORE: It turns out he may have been confusing Muslim with Buddhist. Again according to Wikipedia, the number of Buddhists in the USA is 6,039,800. [You mean Obama should go make peace in a Zen garden?-ed. Well, he should sit down.]

Jun 3, 2009 - 12:04 am 9. Susan (capital S):Roger, “grands” in this sentence could mean “great,” or even “important.” My guess is that it probably does mean one of these, but you’d have to consult the English text to know for sure. Yikes!
Jun 3, 2009 - 12:28 am 10. Susan (capital S):Well, I was wrong. The English text, cited in another PJ Media article shows that Obama said ‘largest.’ This of course makes no sense unless he meant, ‘one of the largest countries where Muslims live.’ Watch him try to spin it that way in case of backlash.
Jun 3, 2009 - 12:37 am 11. frankg:Maybe he meant on of the largest countries that happens to have muslims in it.

At every turn, he denies Christianity in small and large ways that no Christian would dream of doing. He elevates Islam above Christianity, and he claims for Islam that which Christianity (more properly, Judaeo-Christianity) has fostered in her.
This pestilential knave! This vile codslicker! Now we see what the liberals miseducation of America has wrought. A pox on them all. A pox on him and all his house.
Jun 3, 2009 - 3:30 am 15. apodoca:Now we have to wait to see how soon Obama makes his words come true. We know he has vast numbers of Muslims serving him in the government. How many Muslims is he going to import into America to deprive us of our hope by changing this fair land into the shadow of death and darkness of Islam? Dishonorable knave!
Jun 3, 2009 - 3:33 am 16. KRF:Perhaps he meant (or will claim to have meant) one of the largest Muslim countries in the geographical area sense. (We’re ranked third according to WolframAlpha.)

Jun 3, 2009 - 4:07 am 20. SLK:If the U.S. is a Muslim country, does that mean we’re no longer in the House of War, and the terrorists can retire?
Jun 3, 2009 - 4:24 am 21. John:Maybe he meant that the U.S. overall is a “Muslim country” because he is a secret Muslim and his government is quickly taking over every aspect of American life. It doesn’t really matter how many Muslims are living here if our Leader is a Muslim and we all have to do what he says.
From what I hear, the next step in his plan, now that he has announced his intentions, is to have all the closed GM plants begin producing Korans (it turns out much of the machinery can do both, surprisingly enough). I am not sure what the next step in his plan is after that, but I imagine it involves lots of ululating and Jew-chasing.

(Ahem) Maybe he was conflating the fact that the US is the 3rd or 4th largest country in the world and his observation that Islam is represented in the US. In the middle east, it may be taken as prophesy.
Jun 3, 2009 - 6:38 am 30. losantiville:The American Religious Identification Survey puts the Muslim population at .6% (0.006) or 1.8 Million.

3) He thinks the French are stupid and would never notice. And therefore no one would ever report it.
4) The teleprompter got stuck. Don’t you just hate when that happens?
5) He thinks being Muslim sounds desirable to the French, ‘cos he thought Paris was in the Middle East
6) It would sound good to people back home. No, not you – the other ones he looks up to.

Jun 3, 2009 - 8:20 am 39. Matt from FL:My best friend’s Father’s girlfriend is a Muslim.
She doesn’t wear a Burka or a veil.
She doesn’t pray five times a day.
She occasionally eats pork products.
She writes erotic fiction.
But she doesn’t drink booze, and she considers herself a Muslim. I think that that goes to the heart of Muslims in America. Muslims here get to choose to be Muslims, and they get to choose how they worship, as do all religions in America. Nothing is set in stone, and nothing will get you stoned to death. Such is not true of Islamic states, where the many of the temperate “Moderate Muslims” make the people who shoot Abortion Clinic Doctors look positively tame by comparison.
I’m certain that Barack Hussein was simply thinking of states 51-60. Those are predominately Muslim states, I’m sure.

Roger, good, you picked up on BHO’s taqiyya code-wording spinning BS for the audience.

ZZMike nails the real issue. The question isn’t one of mathematics or rankings, but one of character. Pres. Obama didn’t say the US had one of the largest Muslim populations in the world (a questionable statement itself, but let’s leave that alone for now), he said the US is one of the largest “Muslim countries.” There are more Chinese people in the US than Muslims, but noone would say we were a “Chinese country.” Ascribing an adjective to the country implies something about the nature of the country. A “Muslim country” is one which espouses, practices and believes in Islam, a descriptor that may be accurate in describing Egypt, KSA, Iraq, Iran, Syria, etc. but in no way describes the US on a whole.
As to questions about what he meant, I honestly don’t think he meant anything, it was just a string of words he or his writers thought sounded good to say “we like Muslims and want to be your friends; see, we’re just like you.” Their accuracy or propriety were of no concern at all. But why should we complain, after all noone was expected to really beleieve there actually was a good Sameritan when Jesus told his story either.

Jun 4, 2009 - 8:50 am 65. Southern Hibiscus:Mr. Simon,
Thanks for the article and I agree with it. I do not understand why he is gallivanting around the middle east when he should be at home taking care of all of our problems here at home. He is nothing but an actor to me, and I stay so upset with my own government. How dare him call us a Muslim Country, to me it is a bald-faced lie, and he is nothing but a liar.
I am upset, because the Democrats in our state continue to blame our state government, but it is not our Republicans fault, it is the fault of the Socialist that are in control of our government.
Texas does not beg this is true. There is a story of two hurricanes that should make national news; it should be a focus of the MSM. Galveston Texas had a horrific hurricane last year, it destroyed the whole Island and months after the hurricane we went there and it was still terrible, it was so awful that I cried. I brought my camera and thought I would take pictures the day we went, but I could not take pictures of these people working to clean their island. My heart was hurting, because I spent my summers there and it was gone. Everything was gone.
Governor Perry is a good governor in my opinion. He has worked diligently to help these people, and it cannot be easy, because the government does not help him, this is my opinion only, but I feel it is true. The government has not helped Galveston Texas as they did New Orleans. They are still spending money on debris three and half years after hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, but have all but cut off money to clean the debris on Galveston Island after hurricane Ike destroyed the island.
Three and half years ago, Texas took more New Orleans residents in and housed them than any other state. Texas helped them. Governor Perry helped them, and our state opened our hearts and our wallets to them.
It has been one year after hurricane Ike and Galveston is still trying to get back to normal, and it is still terrible, many of the beaches washed away from the storm, debris of demolished homes still lying around everywhere. I have not been there since I cried standing there, but I have seen pictures of the devastation of Galveston Island.
Three and half years after hurricane Katrina they still have housing for their people, but not a year after Ike, not in Galveston. Why is this, could it be because we are a red state? Could it be because the president does not think Texas should have the same treatment he continues to give Louisiana?
Three and half years after Katrina they are still getting paid housing, but not Texans, and I feel Texas is not being treated fairly by the Government and I do not understand, if someone can explain this to me I would appreciate an explanation.
What gives, is it because the media dwells on Katrina, but they are pretending Ike never happened?
Is it because actors as Pit has decided to fight for them, but nobody but Texans care what happens to Galveston Island?
I feel like writing it here, because I feel Galveston Island is not getting the preferential treatment that New Orleans has received, though I cannot understand why.
Where is the president? Well he is gallivanting around the ME, and getting praise for what?
They ignore Galveston Island, and I feel they are playing politics as usual. I blame the government, not our Governor; I blame the Democrats in control, not our Republicans running our state.
I know I should not hate, but I hate the main stream media. He is off gallivanting with the enemy instead of helping his country, and I am completely convinced he is a saboteur.
The saboteur should come home and help his own country and stop rubbing elbows with the enemy.
