While white Christian Americans see the Sept11th attack as a "Muslim attack against Christian America", the actual numbers show that it's not true.
Almost 3,000 people died in 9/11, and approximately 60 of those were Muslim. The 9/11 casualty figures are often revised because of the nature of the tragedy, but based on these estimates some 2% of the casualties were Muslim.
The Muslim population of the U.S. is 1.8 million people, or 0.6% of all U.S. citizens. Muslims actually suffered more than THREE TIMES THE 9/11 CASUALTIES you might expect from a random sample of average America. |
