And how many of those have been involved in terrorist actions here at home?
estimated that there were 1.8 million Muslim adults (and 2.75 million Muslims of all ages) in the country.

A look at polls and studies conducted in the last few years shows that Muslims have been crucial in helping law enforcement find terror suspects in the United States. Many have served in the military protecting the country against terrorists.
By some estimates, Muslims make up less than 1% of the U.S. adult population. By 2050, their numbers will grow -- to 2.1%. Of all the Muslims in America, 63% are exactly the kind Trump wants banned -- immigrants.
U.S. Muslims have the second-highest level of education among major religious groups in the country; Jews have the highest.
57% of American Muslims say there is more than one way to interpret Islam's teachings. A similar number say many different religions can lead to eternal life.
From September 11, 2001, until the end of 2014, 109 Muslim-Americans plotted against targets in the United States. And terrorism by Muslim-Americans killed 50 in the same time period. Contrast that with the deaths from other mass shootings just last year: 136 -- more than twice as many as all the deaths from 13 years of Muslim-American terrorism.

We should be more afraid of our uneducated Christian terrorists and mentally ill, than the Muslims, but it isn't as easy to hate your own kind as it is the other.
Trump and the GOP are drumming up fear faster than I've ever seen before in my lifetime. Even worse than after 9/11. This is just making me ill.
