you guys are confused ( nothing new there) he doesn't mean percentage wise of course only an idiot with say that and this guy is a harvard grad ( You live in a trailer) What he means is that many muslim countries have a very small population such as Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Oman etc So if the Encyclopedia Britannica is to be believed the US would have more or as much muslims than any of those entire nations. But only only a small fraction considering the size of the US as a whole.

@crazyjedimindtrick: did you even watch the video to the end ? The US is 38th by number of Muslims. Forget Qatar and the UAE, there are 37 countries with more Muslims than the US. In terms of percentage, it doesn't even make the top 60 list. If 38th means "one of the largest", then your 44th President is "one of the first Presidents of the US."

Unfortunately the US is so dumbed down that there would be riots if he was impeached.

Excellent! Let's not forget that OB is purported to have promised a huge amount of cash for HamASS families that want to immigrate to the USA. I have not checked the veracity of this but that is just too fucking weird if it is true. Oh great, we in Canada can look forward to that shit! What affects the States affects us.

I liked the video, however your title is misleading. Obama said "we'd be" one of the largest muslim countries in the world.

That's not true, the Chinese and Europeans would stop it, but it would be much more painful than without USA. USA has the best system for facilitating technological advances but USA itself doesn't event hold 20% of the world population of people who prefer to design weapons instead of praying to Allah. The world would be still quite OK without USA. Greetings from Poland.

I agree Lagolop. I felt safe having the US as my neighbor, at least until the last election.
