True, however its the muslims that dont do that that tend to come to the US. Most muslims in the US are from India. The second and third numbers come from Bangladesh and pakisthan. Bangladeshi's are similar to Indians. They dont marry 5 and they dont treat the women bad. India has the second most muslims of any country if I recall officially - un officially India has more muslims than pakisthan has people. Anyway american muslims are mostly Indian and bangladeshi. Pakisthan is a distant third.
India's muslims identify with India, a long history of not fighting them has that effect. The existence of pakisthan's population sized muslims across the fence in India is an existential threat to pakisthan. Anyway, this is the distribution -
http://www.mapsofworld.com/world-top-ten/world-top-ten-countries-with-largest...Indonesia with 200+ million first, then pak and India close with 175 mill+, then bangladesh with 148+. Egypt and nigeria with 80 and 75 mill and all the rest are less.
Anyway, "muslims" per say are not the problem. We could filter it based on country - India and bangladesh IMHO are the bets of the bunch. We should probably eliminate the rest of em. Yea Indonesia is fine but I dont know of a single indonesian in the US. I know a 100_ muslims, everytime I think this muslim is from say pakisthan, it turns out he's from india, and the most recent one I ran into not only was he from India, he was from my ancestral home town.
Cool.
