I find the results of this poll interesting; there are several ways you could take this, both positive and negative. I choose to cautiously embrace it as another sign of the innate optimism of Americans. Muslim leaders of the moderate variety would do well to take advantage while the good will remains…
The great Arthur Chrenkoff takes a look at a poll of British Muslims and finds some bad signs…but also some hopeful ones…
At Americans for Freedom, jp also plays the optimist and sees hopeful signs in the recent Rumsfeld overseas visits…
Our good friend bebere and her beau have a good suggestion to deal with the Hollywood slump, real or perceived…

Mark, a propos of nothing, do you have a figure on how many muslims live in the US? Or on the conversion rate these last few years? If I’m not mistaken, during the 80s and 90s Islam was becoming one of the fastest growing religions in the US.
Also, on a different tangent again, is it just me or is Cherkoff site having problems with the posting of comments? I haven’t seen the link to comments for a few days now. Thanks.

Here’s a worthwhile link that seems to put the figure at 4-7 million. Remember that there are many black muslims in the U.S., i.e., the Nation of Islam. Same faith, but a little bit of a different thing…
I just checked the Chrenkoff page, and I saw the comments…maybe try again?
Have a good one…
