A few minutes ago on CNN, one of the “world’s most brilliant team of journalists” (or whatever superlatives that network is throwing at itself this week) described Egypt as the world’s largest Muslim nation, apparently unclear about the difference between those two recondite concepts “Arab” and “Muslim.” None of her “expert” colleagues corrected her. And these are the people who deign to lecture at us about Islam and are now urging us to join in the Caireuphoria…
They really are sloppy. Indonesia, with a population of 227 million is the world’s largest muslim nation. You’ve provided me with one more reason (and I’m building quite a surplus of them)why I never bother with watching CNN.
