That's not saying much, Mr. DisalariReader comment on item: Do Radical Islamists Run the Middle East? Submitted by jennifer solis (United States), Sep 25, 2007 at 14:50 Quoting you, Mr. Disalari: "Islam could be the second-largest religion in America by 2015, surpassing Judaism, according to some estimates. By some estimates, Islam has achieved that rank already." The following comes from NSRI and ARIS data (2004). : total population of Chrsitians in U.S.A. : 224,437,959 total population of followers of Judaism : 3,995,371 total population of followers of Islam : 1,558,068 total population of nonreligious/secular : 38,865,604 Check out http://www.adherents.com/rel_USA.html#religions Total Population of the U.S.A. : 301,139,947 Total of Muslims in the U.S.A. : 6,000,000 (approx. 2,000,000 regularly attend Mosques) 81% of Americans identify themselves with a specific religion. 0.5% are followers of Islam. You've got a long way to go, baby. -JS Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes. Original writing only, please.
