1.7% - America's Muslim Population 2030

Population projections by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life estimate that the number of Muslims in the U.S will more than double over the next two decades, rising from 2.6 million in 2010 to 6.2 million in 2030, and growing as a share from 0.8% of the total population to 1.7%. The growth in population is in large part due to immigration and higher-than-average fertility among Muslims. The estimated growth will put the American Muslim population on par with the Jewish and Episcopalian populations in the U.S today. These population projections also show that the U.S. will be one of 79 countries with a million or more Muslims in 2030. A majority of the world's Muslims (about 60%) will continue to live in the Asia-Pacific region, about 20% will live in the Middle East and North Africa (as is the case today), 2.7% will reside in Europe and 0.5% will live in the Americas.

Eric Holder, Janet Napolitano ( both of whom I'm no fans of) have told us more than once that they, and thier departments are extremely concerned about home grown Islamic terrorism. But you....well you shrug your shoulders and light up another blunt.

So, when Janet Napolitano is concerned about Islamic radicals, she's on the right track, but when she's concerned about right-wing radicals, you mouthbreathers go apeshit:

Statement by U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano on the Threat of Right-Wing Extremism

I'll repeat a couple of entirely reasonable challenges that you have thus far failed to address in any way whatsoever:

1. Say something, anything, about right-wing Christian terrorism. You've been offered many, many, many examples of Christian terror from which to choose. So just do it. It's not difficult. Just say, "Eric Rudolph is a misguided psycho," or "Scott Roeder should rot in jail." Anything, at all, to show that you're not completely indifferent to Alice Hawthorne or George Tiller or any of the other victims of Christian terror…

2. Find a single statement that I've made in support of radical Islam or Islamic terrorism. Just one. Even half-hearted support will suffice. You keep throwing out these accusations without any support beyond your inept and ungrammatical rhetoric.

In fact, what you’ll find is that I repeatedly and explicitly reject violence:

Let me try to state this very simply for you. I despise terrorism, Muslim, Christian, or otherwise. But al Qaeda is maybe a couple of thousand guys. The other 999,998,000 Muslims, I don’t really have a problem with. I wish they didn’t insist on wasting humanity’s time with this superstitious bullshit, but I feel the same way about Christians, Jews, etc.

I have never once attempted to “mitigate” attacks by radical Islam, nor have I ever defended such attacks, nor apologized for them, nor offered any excuse for violence committed against civilians in any way whatsoever. I defy you to offer a single shred of evidence of my “support” of fanaticism by any group, at all, ever. I uniformly condemn religious extremism in all forms, and I think that all religions are a cancer on humanity.

By way of contrast, you can’t even be arsed to murmur, “That’s a shame” or words to that effect, when informed of children being raped and murdered by the Christian Lord’s Resistance Army. When presented with an article about numerous black people being dragged to death by white people, your response is, Well, the victim should have made better choices.

So I ask you, who is it shrugging their shoulders?

Here's an easy one for you. Back in 2005, August Kreis, a leader of the Christian terror group Aryan Nations wanted to hook up with al Qaeda:

An unholy alliance: Aryan Nation leader reaches out to al Qaeda

So here's your opportunity to condemn Christian terror while still hating on the wogs. It's win-win!

So when somebody tried to blow up the MLK Day parade in Seattle last month with a bomb laced with rat poison, everybody knew it would turn out to be some filthy raghead here on a student visa, right? I mean, “you don’t need to know which way the wind blows” right?

Oh, wait….

Stevens County man charged with attempted MLK Day bombing in Spokane

Not surprised that you've given up on this thread. In the future, when you find yourself in a hole, you might consider not digging any deeper.

Good luck with the literacy thing.

you're one of the few people I truly despise on here. You're a one tune blow hard. Run anything past your nose and give you a whiff, and your response is to somehow bring some extreme right wing "christian" group into the mix. In your sick, tormented, anti Christian mind, you could create some sort of conflation to explain away 911. That's a sickness. You try to create some sort of moral equilivency to make your point...you do it constantly. You're the same used scumbag who tried to say I condoned what occured to that lady that was dragged to death when I never even mentioned her in my post. You just did it again. You remain a misinformed, hateful piece of human waste. FLUSH>>> Do you have any friends...or do you just sit home all day reading HA and press releases from the Southern Poverty Law Center? Ahhhhh that felt so good !!!

It's not about loving Muslims per se; its about treating everyone with repspect and dignity, unless they are breaking laws. Its about wanting for others, the same things, I want for myself.
