The flag fluttering above the U.S. Capitol is emblazoned with a crescent and star. Chants of Allahu Akbar rise from inside the building. Thats the provocative opening scene of a documentary-style movie outlined 10 years ago by Stephen K. Bannon that envisioned radical Muslims taking over the country and remaking it into the Islamic States of America,' according to a document describing the project obtained by the Washington Post.
The outline shows how Bannon, years before he became a strategist for President Trump and helped draft last weeks order restricting travel from seven mostly Muslim countries, sought to issue a warning about the threat posed by radical Muslims as well as their enablers among us. Although driven by the best intentions, the outline says, institutions such as the media, the Jewish community and government agencies were appeasing jihadists aiming to create an Islamic republic.

(82,383 posts)According to a 2010 study, it is followed by 0.9% of the population, compared to 70.6% who follow Christianity, 22.8% unaffiliated, 1.9% Judaism, 0.7% Buddhism, and 0.7% Hinduism. According to a new estimate in 2016, there are 3.3 million Muslims living in the United States, about 1% of the total U.S. population.
from googling what percent of the US population is Muslim.

(3,208 posts)In my own life, I once worked as a veterinarian assistant for a devout Muslim. He and his family came here, outside of St. Louis from India in the 1970s. He was great to work for and recognized he was working in a working class community and priced accordingly.
I have another ex-boss that I worked for in a day care center. I remain friends with her on FB because of that and other things we have in common (two of our kids went to school together, her son joined the Navy and went to Japan around the same time my son joined the Peace Corps and went to Tanzania). She is the only boss or co-worker I ever had that was escorted off the premises by the police. She is a HUGE tRump supporter.
TO me, this is my own living proof that their ideas about who is "bad" and who is "good" are way off the mark. Not that this is even within the power of government to make decisions like that in the way they see it should be done.
