How Many Muslims?

There was a time in this country when most white people, even abolitionists, were certain that the other races were inferior. I doubt if that's true today. In fact, I suspect that most of the KKK, Nazi movement and white supremos believe (correctly) that they cannot compete in today's multi-racial America. What is driving them is not an assertion of superiority but a fear of losing white nativist privilege. 

There's little sign that white nativist privilege is fading, so what drives the fear of losing it?

1. Americans believe we have been swamped by immigrants. They think about 42% of our population was born abroad. The true figure is less than 14%, which is normal for us.

2. Americans believe that about 17% of our population is Muslim, despite the fact that most of them don't know a single Muslim. The true figure is 1%. 

This kind of information should be pounded into every shaved white head in America.
