wrong again

Your statistics are grossly exaggerated again. You say that there are 3-5billion Muslims in America. This is very hard to believe due to the fact that the US population was roughly 298,444,215 as of July 2006. Maybe you meant 3-5 million. If so then your original estimate of three in every five people being Muslims was way off. The percentage I gave you earlier of 79% of Americans being Christians was taken in 2001. You are telling me that in five years the population of Muslims has surpassed that of Christians? I find that very hard to believe. Where did all of these people come from? I think I would have noticed a change like that. If this had happened mosques would outnumber churches but they don't. I have seen very few mosques in all of the places I have been in the US. All Im saying is that your numbers are wrong. They are way off.
