The U.S. is a Muslim Country?

President Obama, now waving his middle name "Hussein" like some strange banner in his jaunt around the Middle East, has recently stated that the United States, if one were to actually look at the percentages is one of the largest Muslim nations. If I were a Muslim, I would take this as an insult to my intelligence.
Let's get this out of the way first. .6% of Americans identify themselves as Muslim. Out of approximately 300,000,000 people, this means that there are 1,800,000 Muslims in the United States. The United States Muslim population could match the overall population of New York City...if it were multiplied by 4.5. Also, to address any claims that Obama was correct in saying that by percentage the number of Muslims in the U.S. is at all significant, take a look at the facts. At its highest estimate, there are approximately 1.8 billion Muslims in the world. You can do the math.
Now, something else about this just bothers me. Obama's middle name and vague Muslim background have been the skeleton in his closet since his campaign began. And now that he visits the Middle East, he bares all in an attempt to win favor? This is a terribly transparent move. It is widely known that this past election has been the most globally followed election in American history. Has Obama forgotten so soon? The Middle Easterners know what Obama's been up to, because they saw it all just a few short months ago. This is a tactless move on Obama's part. Either you're a Muslim or you're not. Either the United States is Muslim or it's not. (Quite honestly, there is no question that neither Obama nor the U.S. is Muslim) But please, Mr. President, don't go putting on masks when you travel, because it makes us all look like fools.
