I suppose so, give or take 800 million. There are about as many Muslims in India or Indonesia as there are Arabs of all persuasions in the whole world. And if he doesn't know the difference, he should think twice before writing.

Air Force Removes Chaplain From Post
Officer Decried Evangelicals' Influence

DENVER, May 12 -- An Air Force chaplain who complained that evangelical Christians were trying to "subvert the system" by winning converts among cadets at the Air Force Academy was removed from administrative duties last week, just as the Pentagon began an in-depth study of alleged religious intolerance among cadets and commanders at the school.

"They fired me," said Capt. MeLinda Morton, a Lutheran minister who was removed as executive officer of the chaplain unit on May 4. "They said I should be angry about these outside groups who reported on the strident evangelicalism at the academy. The problem is, I agreed with those reports."
