Nah. It's probably just a strategy. Being stoooooopid worked for Dumbya. A caller to Mark Thompson's radio show said yesterday that he expects Rmoney to make a gaffe with Israel by saying something like, "I love Middle Eastern food. I especially like Hamas with my crackers."  |

Last edited Sun Jul 29, 2012, 12:22 AM USA/ET - Edit history (1) Islam is the world's second largest religion after Christianity. According to a 2010 study, Islam has 1.62 billion adherents, making up over 23% of the world population.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Muslim_population Islam is the predominant religion in the Middle East, in Sahel, in the Horn of Africa and northern Africa, and in some parts of Asia. Africa harbors the highest percentage of Muslims (52.39%), Large communities of Muslims are also found in China, the Balkans, and Russia. Other parts of the world host large Muslim immigrant communities; in Western Europe, for instance, Islam is the second largest religion after Christianity, where it represents 6% of the total population. According to the Pew Research Center in 2010 there were 49 Muslim-majority countries. Around 62% of the world's Muslims live in South and Southeast Asia, with over 1 billion adherents., The largest Muslim country is Indonesia home to 12.7% of the world's Muslims followed by Pakistan (11.0%), India (10.9%), and Bangladesh (9.2%). About 20% of Muslims live in Arab countries. In the Middle East, the non-Arab countries of Turkey and Iran are the largest Muslim-majority countries; in Africa, Egypt and Nigeria have the most populous Muslim communities. A study conducted by the Pew Research Center in 2010 and released January 2011 found that there are 1.62 billion Muslims around the world. The study found more Muslims in the United Kingdom than in Lebanon and more in China than in Syria.  |
