Hi there I listened to his speach on the radio and he did call the US a Muslim nation. I do not know about you tube but, this website talks about it.

ooo *claps hands* well played Pumona well played. Those are the exact words I heard on FOX from Obmama's speech . “one of the largest Muslim countries in the world.” Thanks for the save ^^

It's not really an offensive comment so much as it is an inaccurate one. We are not a Muslim country, we are not a Christian country, we are a Constitutional country and that same Constitution provides very firm clauses about our government not sponsoring a state religion. From another raw fact, we are far from having one of the largest Muslim populations (which is the sense in which he meant "Muslim country"). We have a somewhat sizable Muslim population, but 51 countries have larger Muslim populations.

On the other hand, if you were to say that America is one of the largest Spanish-speaking countries in the world, there's quite a case to be made there. We are the third largest nation in terms of Spanish-speaking population, having recently passed Argentina:

So, if you were to say that the US is one of the largest Hispanic countries in the world, that would be far more accurate.

Hi, If and when you do make sure you watch Fox News more than the regular news channels. The media likes to cover up information that I strongly believe we need to know about and Fox News makes sure we know what's going on.

Generally I disagree with conservative views, but sometimes I find myself laughing with the O'Reilly Factor. However, a lot of the news I find to be a bit biased towards the conservative side... as most media is biased towards one side or the other... I generally use them as a reference for science articles in debate however.

Most media is shallow and uninformed. I bet everyone here can name who won American Idol. I bet nobody here can name two persecuted religious minorities in the Middle East.

This is why I mentioned to watch/listen to both types of news. Yes, I admit I watch/listen to conservative side but, I also listen to the other side. I want all facts/information.
