Obama Quietly Killed Two-Million American Muslims

Obama did not actually kill anyone. I am referring to his estimate of Muslims in America. In Cairo, Obama said that there were around seven million Muslims in America (Berman Post: Obama Speaks in Cairo (Egypt)). Now he is saying that there are five million Muslims in America. The actual number is generally believed to be a bit under two million.

Obama still thinks that the United States is one of the largest Muslim countries in the world (Berman Post: Obama - 'The United States is One of The Largest Muslim Countries in The World').

"Almost two million people have inexplicably disappeared from the estimates of the U.S. Muslim population that President Barack Obama has given recently. In his speech to the Muslim world in Cairo on June 4, he spoke about “nearly seven million American Muslims in our country today.” On Sunday, the Karachi daily Dawn published an interview with him where he said “we have five million Muslims.”
...
Many blogs, FaithWorld included, questioned that figure and noted that estimates of the U.S. Muslim population range from 1.8 to 7-8 million. The U.S. Census Bureau cannot ask about religion on a mandatory basis but refers on its website to a Pew Forum study pegging Muslims at 0.6% of the population. The CIA World Factbook uses the same percentage figure. It translates into about 1.8 million."

  1. You're article title is rather sensationalist.

  2. Maybe a bit; was meant to skew more toward absurd/humor to match the situation.
