How many Muslims? The question of how many Muslims live in the United States has always been a vexing one, partly because the US Census doesn't ask about religion, and partly because the question of whether or not to include adherants of the Nation of Islam in the count is a knotty one. A few years ago, folks settled on a "guesstimate" of 6 or 7 million Muslims, leading to the often-repeated statement in recent weeks that "there are more Muslims than Episcopalians in the United States."

Maybe not. Daniel Pipes has a helpful column about this in this morning's New York Post.

It's also important to remember that the majority of Arab-Americans are not Muslim - they're Christian.
