Gallup Poll - Muslim Americans Thrive

New Gallup Poll shows Muslimsare thriving in the US, especially relative to their lives in other Western societies.

Some more analysis of the poll by the AP.

While I'm at it - the Gallup Center for Muslim Studies is awesome in general - they do tons of studies to belying false stereotypes and generalizations out there about Islam.

Wait, I thought Islam and democracy were incompatible? That 'Muslim culture' could not exist with 'western' ideals. Wrong again. Islam is based ideas of liberty, equality and justice - it's just power hungry, oppressed politicians and extremists who pervert it, using it to legitimize their dictatorial militaristic agendas.
