I read an interesting "factoid" yesterday; more people voted for Bush than LIVE in France.

I know that doesn't have anything to do with this thread, but, hey, good news is good news.

Concerning Western Euerope : numbers and above all the map is deception, witht the goal of not alarming people.
France :
There are NOW more than 7 million muslims in France, not under 6 million.
The map is not even consistent with the numbers given (10%), painting France between 3% and 7% ...

***Extending further influence now to Phillipines.***

Muslims particularly in Mindanao, Philippines are still the minority group in the place... local people particularly christians said that Muslim extremism thru violence and bombings are isolated cases since most Muslim populace are reluctant to wage war due to fear of fierce retaliation (Serbs Style) that happened in the 70's.

...we cannot deny the fact that throughout the whole world they are/have perhaps the fastest growing religion...i just
can't understand why many people are getting converted with this religion...

Note that whenever it fits the agenda, it's exactly the other way round. This is the case whenever muslims are the majority or the agenda is to put them NOW in power.

Example Macedonia : NOW 23%, not 30%

The chart overstates the number of Muslims in Thailand significantly. This analysis chart lists a Muslim population of 8.2 million out of a total population of 59.9 mil for a 14% Muslim population. However, the most recent estimate on www.ncbuy.com, based on Thai government sources www.nso.go.th, lists a total population of 64.9 million, puts Muslims at 2.5 million or 3.8% of the population. This latter figure is consistant will recent news accounts.

With the reign of terror the Islamists are causing in the South, 3.8% is way too many.

It is worth noting that 14% is the exact estimate for ethnic Chinese (a small percent of which are Muslim)

Sorry if I remain a little sceptical of this source. They do not cite where they got the informaton and 9 million Mulsims in the USA seems a little high to me. Just how exactly does one count people by religious affiliation anyway? No one has ever asked me what my religion is. I don't offer the information and if a pollster asked me I might decline to say. Then those famous exit pollsters have the chutzpah (I am not Jewish I just like that Yiddish word) to tell us they know exactly how people of a certain religion voted. As Henry Ford said about history, this is all bunk.

Wherever they go, they are a negative force. They take, give nothing back, contribute nothing positive.

I noticed Alaska was green, but the rest of the US is a different hue.
