Title: Gallup Releases Portrait of American Muslims Post by abu_rashid on Mar 4th, 2009 at 5:31pm Gallup Releases First-of-Its-Kind Portrait of American Muslims March 03, 2009 11:52 AM ET | By Dan Gilgoff, God & Country Gallup has released a first-of-its-kind national portrait of American Muslims, the nation's most racially diverse religious group. Because of that diversity—35 percent of American Muslims are African-American, 28 percent are white (White Muslim converts seem to be a large % of Muslims, this is what really scares you Calanen, isn't it?), 18 percent are Asian, and 18 percent identify themselves as "other" racially—I'm not sure how meaningful Gallup's broad-brush look at American Muslims really is. The largest group of American Muslims is made up of black converts to Islam; many are Nation of Islam members who have little in common with traditional Muslims. At the same time, most American Muslims are foreign born. So it makes a lot more sense to look at individual American Muslim communities, or at least to separate Nation of Islam members from immigrant Muslims. With those caveats, here are the Gallup Poll's key findings: * Muslim American women are one of the most highly educated female religious groups in the United States, second only to Jewish American women. In addition, as a group, Muslim Americans have the highest degree of economic gender parity at the high and low ends of the income spectrum. (Poor oppressed Muslim women, no doubt this is only because they were in the West... right?) * Only 51 percent of young Muslim Americans are registered to vote, which is one of the lowest percentages among young Americans surveyed. (And I thought Muslims were trying to take over the West... not doing a very good job of it, are we) * The 41 percent of Muslim Americans considered to be "thriving" is the lowest percentage among religious groups studied. * When asked whether religion is an important part of their daily lives, 80 percent of Muslim Americans answer in the affirmative. Of the religious groups studied, only Mormons (85 percent) are more likely than Muslims to say religion plays an important role in their lives. Source: US News |

That's because they reject democracy and its filthy systems. Well many of them do. They are into taking over the institutions of democracy. Winning the vote is not important. You need the banks, the courts, the hospitals, the police, the schools, the charities, the sporting associations, the universities all under your control and to spread your point of view. Lobbying is important, putting pressure is important. That way you never need to win government, as government bends to your will to implement your sharia demands. Then it doesnt matter what the miserable democracies do or who votes for who, does it? |

Ahhh, the long way 'round, I see... But can't Muslims just bend the rules, and vote, if it means they'll take power?? After all, you told me they can lie, cheat, steal, kill, do anything to make Islam dominant right? Quote:
