Facts don't mean anything!

U.S. President Barack Obama, two days before an historic visit to Saudi Arabia and Egypt, told a French television interviewer, “If you actually took the number of Muslim Americans, we'd be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world."

However, statistics show that there are less than eight million Muslims in the U.S., representing barely 2.5 percent of the total population of 304 million. The Islamweb.com site claims there are 10 million Muslims in the U.S., larger than most other estimates but still representing only 3.3 percent of the population.

The U.S. ranks only 26th in the total number of Muslims in each country, according to the website.

President Obama used the number of Muslims in the U.S. as a basis for stating, “There's got to be a better dialogue and a better understanding between the two peoples.”
