Weird Obama comment

This joker just can help himself.

As President Obama prepared to leave Washington to fly to the Middle East, he conducted several television and radio interviews at the White House to frame the goals for a five-day trip, including the highly-anticipated speech Thursday at Cairo University in Egypt. In an interview with Laura Haim on Canal Plus, a French television station, Mr. Obama noted that the United States also could be considered as “one of the largest Muslim countries in the world.” ...

The president said the United States and other parts of the Western world “have to educate ourselves more effectively on Islam.... And one of the points I want to make is, is that if you actually took the number of Muslim Americans, we’d be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world,” Mr. Obama said. “And so there’s got to be a better dialogue and a better understanding between the two peoples.”


That's just bizarre. First of all, Mulsims make up maybe 1% of our population, being very generous, and most of them aren't American citizens. Secondly, regardless of population, being a "Muslim country" means something like sharia law and whatnot. Even if there were a majority of Americans who were Muslim, we wouldn't be a Muslim country.
