Oh the poor MuslimsReader comment on item: How Many U.S. Muslims? Submitted by Junaid Bhura (India), Apr 20, 2008 at 15:53 Hello, I'm from India, the third world nation. We are poor. We have a LOT of Muslims. Oh look, I'm Muslim too. I have a lot of relatives in the States, most of them in D.C . Why did they move there? Simple - BEAUTIFUL MONEY. Not Sharia, not "Islamic boot", not nothing. Maybe someday us humans will learn not to look at something from a singluar view, but rather look at things from a holistic view, something I picked up from Christ College, Bangalore, India. Let me give you a little background on India. Did you know we have over 20 religions living together in a land area which is about 1/4 of the U.S? Yup. And to top it off we have 1.2 BILLION people living in sweet harmony, sort of. Infact, there are more Muslims in India than in the States. So what? What is the point you are trying to make here? I don't understand! So Muslims move to places because they're opressed? Can you hear yourself talk here? We are all one. The day you understand what that means will be a great day for your spiritual evolution. Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes.
