What an asshole. I'd have words for that douche. And I'd hope to share them while in uniform.

I agree with Don's sentiments. I'd have words too, but for the fact if he is a redneck, you may as well talk to a dirt clod. No amount of reasoning would change that good ole' boy's mind.

Everything I ever needed to know about Utah, I learned from Warren Jeffs.

Good point. I'd love to see some accurate statistics about Islam and it's violent extremists and Christianity and it's violent extremists...

At least 30% (probably higher) [edited] is not that much in your eyes? If not, how much is "not much"? Less than 50%?

All Africa is not Islam.....

If you want to get technical... we get a lot more oil from "other" religions than we do from Islam.

Here is the fine print...

If we exclude Saudi Arabia we get very little oil from Islamic countries.

No, but the biggest oil producing countries (Nigeria, Algeria, Libya) are majority Muslim (Libya may not import that much to the US, but they do elsewhere). Plus not all other countries on the list are 100% non-Islam.

If you mean a lot more to be over 50%, then I guess so. If you really do want to get technical, using the data above in your link I calculated it out for the top 15 countries.

With your chart above, it's 30% for the top 15 countries and is a sure bet that not far down the list would also include the smaller countries like United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, etc, but since most countries in the Middle East (excluding Iran, Iraq, Saudi and Turkey) are small in area, so don't make the list. Undoubtably the percentage would get higher as you went down the list, but even so 30% is quite a bit in most people's eyes. Of course it would be hard to tell what percentage of workers producing the oil are Muslim, but it should be a good rough estimate. Excluding Canada and Mexico (the two biggest exporters to the US), the percentage is much higher.

33195

The majority Muslim population is mostly pro-United States, but unfortunately some of the biggest oil exporters aren't (Saudi Arabia and and Kuwait are good examples). On the other hand, if we didn't buy oil from them, I wonder if they would have a reason to listen to us at all? Other than giving/selling them billions of dollars in weapons I guess.

22%, 44%, 50% still their oil. how about we get 0%. if your argument is they don't matter that much to us then why has US foreign policy been involved over there for several decades.

large violent group doesn't want us there so lets not have a reason to be there just saying. they can't have their cake and eat it too (US gone but take our money)

Since when did a country become "Islamic"? That like saying Utah is "Mormon". I read an interesting article recently that was talking about an oil field they found here in the states. It said there was more oil than in the middle east but nature activists were protesting drilling. I'll see if I can drag up a link.
