Actually there is.  There is over a million Muslims in the USA and over 800 Islamic centers of worship.   There are very many very wealthy Muslims in high places and quite a few are very good friends with the Bush's family.\nMany upper middle income family's, that are doctors, lawyers, and company owners of stores, gas stations, etc.  Who are very loyal to this country and they do vote.  They have a very influential lobby and a lot of influence over our governmental process, just as any other Americans do.  So do the Jewish religion.  As the above guy said, There is a Saudi lobby that is very powerful.

The Holy Quran on Freedom of Conscience\nPUNISHMENT OF APOSTACY IN ISLAM \nFrom one point of view the universe created by God Almighty is divided into two portions. A large portion does that which it is commanded by God Almighty to do, and thus carries out the will of God. The other portion has been given the choice to carry out God's behest or to ignore it. This second portion is man upon whom God Almighty has conferred freedom of action. \nEverything besides man carries out that which God Almighty desires it to do. For instance, the Holy Quran says concerning the angels: They do that which they are commanded ( 66: 7). From this point of view everything besides man is an angel, as it does that which it is commanded to do. The winds carry out whatever they are commanded. During a particular season the trees are commanded to shed their leaves and they do so. The fields are sometimes commanded to produce good harvests and they do so. Sometimes God commands them: I am wroth with a certain region of the earth, so let it bring about conditions of famine, and the same region which has previously produced the means of nourishment for the people, thereupon brings about conditions of famine. \n\nIslam is the religion of nature. So far as man is concerned the notion of compulsion in human life is inconsistent with the divine project of the universe, inasmuch as if God Almighty had imposed His will upon man there would have been no difference between man and an animal, or a tree or a stone. Islam being in accord with human nature sets forth a teaching, concerning the freedom of conscience and the freedom of belief, which establishes an ideal for the world. It is not only certain religions that have permitted compulsion in matters of faith, but several philosophic conceptions are also opposed to freedom of conscience and regard compulsion as permissible. Islam does not permit anything of the kind. Islam has established an ideal standard in respect of freedom of conscience. God Almighty has said in effect: This is the religion of nature which comprises perfect guidance. A perfect Book has been revealed. No other teaching fulfils human needs to a greater degree, nor provides greater beneficence for man, nor discloses to man more clearly the ways that bring man nearer to God. It is Islam alone which has thrown open to man all the gates of approach to God. It imposes no compulsion nor does it permit any. In Islam God says: I account compulsion as evil. I proclaim freedom of conscience and guarantee freedom of belief. \n\nReflection upon the Holy Quran reveals several aspects of this teaching. For instance, it is said: Proclaim, O Prophet, O mankind the Truth has indeed come to you from your Lord. Then whoso follows the guidance, follows it only for the good of his own self, and whoso errs does so only to his own detriment. I am not appointed a keeper over you (10: 109). \nHere the Holy Prophet, peace be on him, has been commanded to proclaim to mankind that perfect truth has been presented to them in the Holy Quran in the form of the teachings of Islam. He who accepts it does so only to his own good" and he who goes astray does so only to his own loss. The Holy Prophet is commanded to proclaim that he is not responsible for the people. They them- selves have to provide for their own good, or to earn the wrath of God Almighty. This is not his business. Every soul must bear this responsibility for itself. \n\nIt is pointed out that every path that guides to the gardens of the pleasure of God Almighty has been described in the Holy Quran. It is the business of man to tread along them of his own free will, or to turn away from them of his own will. The Holy Prophet, peace be on him, bears no responsibility in that behalf, nor would he exercise any compulsion in respect of it. \nAgain it is said: Proclaim O Prophet: This is the truth from your Lord; then let him who will, believe, and let him who will, disbelieve.

To find out general facts about Islam their are many websites such as \nhttp://www.fisabilillah.org/ebooks.asp\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam\n\n1) Muslims do not spend the interest they earn on any bank account/building society account they have.  This is becasue Muslims belive that you should spend money that they have earned not free money if you can call it that.http://www.mustaqim.co.uk/usury.htm\n\n2) One in five people in the world is a Muslim and\njust under two million Muslims live in the UK.\n\n3)  Muslims women have many rights, such as The right and duty to obtain education. The right to have their own independent property. The right to work to earn money if they need it or want it. Equality of reward for equal deeds. and many more\n\n4) Muslims fast during the month of Ramadan; this is the month that Mohammed performed his meditation and the quran Islams holy book was revealed.  \n\n5) Islam is a complete way of life that governs all facets of life: moral, spiritual, social, political, economical, intellectual, etc.\n\n6) Muslims accept the original unaltered Torah (the Gospel of Moses) and the original Bible (the Gospel of Jesus) since they were revealed by God. However, none of those original scriptures are in existence today, in their entirety. Therefore, Muslims follow the subsequent, final, and preserved revelation of God, the Holy Qur'an.\n\n7) Terrorism, unjustified violence and the killing of innocent people are absolutely forbidden in Islam. Islam is a way of life that is meant to bring peace to a society, whether its people are Muslim or not. The extreme actions of those who claim to be Muslim may be, among other things, a result of their ignorance or uncontrolled anger. Tyrant rulers and those who commit acts of terrorism in the name of Islam are simply not following Islam. These people are individuals with their own views and political agendas. Fanatical Muslims are no more representative of the true Islamic teachings than Timothy McVeigh or David Koresh are of Christianity. Extremism and fanaticism is a problem that is common to all religious groups. Anyone who thinks that all Muslims are terrorists should remember that the famous boxer Muhammad Ali, perhaps the most celebrated person of our era, is a practicing Muslim.\n\n8) Muslim women wear the head-covering (hijab) in fulfillment of God's decree to dress modestly. From a practical standpoint, it serves to identify one as attempting to follow God in daily life and, therefore, protects women from unwanted advances from men. This type of modest dress has been worn by righteous women throughout history. Prominent examples are traditional Catholic Nuns, Mother Teresa and the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus.\n\n9)Allah: is Arabic for God and is the same word used by many Christian Arabs. Allah is the same God worshipped by Christians and Jews.\n\n10) Jihad: means ‘to exert ones utmost’.  Muslims consider that the greatest Jihad is to struggle for inner growth in their daily lives.

Yes, Allah is the God of All Mankind, and everything, The Same God of Prophet Abraham(Peace Be Upon Him), Prophet Moses(PBUH), Prophet Jesus(PBUH),  the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH), and all the Prophets that ever came (Peace and Blessings be Upon them All).  \n\nThe One True God   \n1 minute message - by Imam Shabir Ally  \n \nMost people realise that there is only one true God. Throughout history, this one true God has appointed many good men to tell others about Him so that humans everywhere may turn away from false gods and worship Him alone. Abraham, Moses, and Jesus (peace be upon them) all spoke about this one God and worshipped Him alone.\n\nIn the Gospel According to Matthew, 26:39 (King James Version) we are told that Jesus "fell on his face, and prayed" to God. And in the Gospel According to John, 17:3, Jesus declares that the one he prayed to is the only true God.\n\nThis very God speaks to us in these last days in His final Scripture which He will safeguard from corruption. God announces in His book good news to all those who believe in Him and do right. He says: Surely those who say, 'Our Lord is Allah,' and afterward are upright, the angels descend upon them, saying: Fear not nor grieve, but hear good tidings of the Paradise which you are promised. We are your protecting friends in the life of the world and in the Hereafter.\n\n"There you will have (all) that your souls desire, and there you will have (all) for which you pray. A gift of welcome from the Forgiving, the Merciful."\n[Al-Qur'an 41:30-32]\n\nThose who believe and do good works and believe in that which is revealed unto Muhammad - and it is the truth from your Lord - He rids them of their ill-deeds and improves their condition. That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood and because those who believe follow the truth from their Lord. [Al-Qur'an 47:2]\n\nAccept this invitation, therefore, and enjoy a life of peace and satisfaction on earth, then everlasting life in God's Paradise. The true scripture promises all this to those who choose no other god except the one true God who was worshipped by Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (peace be upon them). The truth has now come to you from your Lord! Won't you accept it?(www.whyislam.org)

wow! so many yes! i guess in society and culture section many who blast 4 marrage system in islam are just jealous christians!\n\n  even not all muslims have more than one wife. \n\n any way, from a country where it was allowed till some 60 years back, i can tell it only deteriorates families. it continuous peacefully when one of the wife has low self esteem or have no where else to go she compromises as atleast she has a roof over her head. when it comes to inheritence the situationm is worse.\n\n   ever heard of sati system in india? it was mostly in bengal. you know why ? in bengal hindu law of inheritance daybhag was applied. that meant the widow had a full right of her husbands property even if she had no child. in rest of india widow without child just had life interest in property. polygamy was rampant. so the result was youger wives were often forced to die on funeral pyre along with their husbands. you have no idea the downfall and problems such systems cause in society.\n\n  if you read history of mugals you will find how many brothers cut each others throats because every queen and her chldren claimed the throne as their right. \n    \n   other than that when some of partners will be emtionally and otherwise deprived of marital needs they are going to cause problems in families.\n\n your family system is already falling apart. are you looking for a last nail?

first of all islam states that:\ngod is the only power that decides who lives, who dies, who gets sick, who gets rich or poor, god decides everything and everything happens within and under his authorization and full control.\nsecondly,\nsatan, the devil, lucifer, nosfirato, shaytaan, or whatever he is called, here is his story in islam based on the holy words of god in quraan:\nsatan was an angel just like other angels, he was created out of fire, while humans where made out of mud or clay or (dust and/or water) ( as many as referenced ).\ngod created angels first, they serve god and praise him all the time, he then created human and told the angels to kneel/bow to adam ( the first human ). all angels obeyed god except satan, he denied to kneel for adam and he said to god ( how do u want me to kneel to him when u made me out of fire and made him out of clay ) he was too proud to kneel for adam.\nofcourse this angered god and god promised him eternal hell, then satan as an act of replying to god, he told him ( i will seduce all humans to sin and misguide them from your way ), ofcourse satan hates humans and just wants to drive as many to hell with him as he can;\ngod told him ( do what you want, those who follow you will burn in hell with you forever. those who love me, those who worship me, those you wont have any authority on them, i shall embrace them and those shall be heaven ).\nin islam we beleive that we are all slaves of god, he is the only creator, the only god, the only power, the only forgiveness for our sins towards him, and the only one who decides who goes to heaven or hell, and the most merciful on us his slaves.\n\nsatan has no powers except whispering in your ear, making the sin look justified or seem tempting.\nAllah almighty said in quraan those meanings ( Satan will lead you to sin, he will make it look good, he will justify it, he will even make it look like the right thing to do, and Once you commit a sin, he will abandon you as his mission is accomplished ( thats why you regret doing a sin right after it, cuz he aint talking to u anymore, its ur god given consceince), Satan hates humans as they are the reason that god forsaken him, he hates humans because he thinks we are inferior to him, and he hates humans so he is trying to take as many as possible with him to hell )\n\nOnly God allah subhanah wa taala, Only him has the power of choosing who lives and who dies, Soul is already from god, nobody can ever create or end soul it is from god.\n\nall muslims hate satan, and we have books about his ways and manipulations, his lurings and temptings to sins, and we spend time studying them so we wont get dragged into them again.\n\npeace and blessings\nmuslim.

We beleive in One almighty creator "Allah" and in his messenger "Muhammad (PBUH)"\n\nIslma in its core insists on Good Morals and being a useful human being .. who works hard for his life , yet doesn't forget that he is watched by Allah , so that he sould be kind and just with others ..\n\nI'm sorry if some terrorst actions had made the western word see Islam as the bloody violent faith.. but this is not true and doesn't represent the REAL teachings of islam.

You won't find any accurate statistics, but the good question is " WHY "??\nhttp://members.iinet.net.au/~asmaazam/what_doyou_know.htm\n\ntake a look, Islam brief:\n\nand don't belive the west media lies, you search for what Islam says\n\nTHE RELIGION OF ISLAM The first thing that one should know and clearly understand about Islam is what the word \n\n"Islam" itself means. The religion of Islam is not named after a person as in the case of Christianity which was \n\nnamed after Jesus Christ, Buddhism after Gotama Buddha, Confucianism after Confucius, and Marxism after Karl Marx. \n\nNor was it named after a tribe like Judaism after the tribe of Judah and Hinduism after the Hindus. Islam is the \n\ntrue religion of "Allah" and as such, its name represents the central principle of Allah's "God's" religion; \n\nthe total submission to the will of Allah "God". The Arabic word "Islam" means the submission or surrender of one's \n\nwill to the only true god worthy of worship "Allah" and anyone who does so is termed a "Muslim",Islam is the \n\nreligion which was given to Adam, the first man and the first prophet of Allah, and it was the religion \n\nof all the prophets sent by Allah to mankind. The name of God's religion lslam was not decided upon by later \n\ngenerations of man. It was chosen by Allah Himself and clearly mentioned in His final revelation to man. In the \n\nfinal book of divine revelation, the Qur'aan, Allah states the following: "This day have I perfected your religion \n\nfor you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion". (Soorah Al-Maa'idah 5:3) "If \n\nanyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah (God) never will It be accepted of Him" (Soorah \n\nAal'imraan 3:85) "Abraham was not a Jew nor Christian; but an upright Muslim." (Soorah Aal'imraan 3:67)

Islam (Arabic: الإسلام; al-islām (listen (help·info)), "submission (to the will of God)") is a monotheistic faith, one of the Abrahamic religions, and the world's second-largest religion. Followers of Islam are known as Muslims. Muslims believe that God revealed his divine word directly to mankind through many prophets and that Muhammad was the final prophet of Islam.

How ignorant, Allah is the SAME as God, and God knows ALL! He knows the past, the present and the future with every single tiny or large detail.
