Reply #69: They are not Muslim (at least as far as I know) but

I honestly doubt that most Americans would know the difference. I haven't seen the poll numbers recently, but the last time I saw them, I think at least 60-70% of our populace had no clue about the ethnic/religious breakdown of the Iraqi people much less the Middle East as a whole.

Unfortunately el presidente is not the only one who thinks its jus' a homogeneous group of "Muslimish" people messin' about over there. Well ok, maybe by now the difference between Sunnis and Shias is understood, but I doubt that anything beyond that has sunk in.
