You obviously have not acquainted yourself with scholars such as

Islam may be the world's largest religion, and is certainly one of the largest. Apparently1.3-1.5 billion according to

I live in America. More than 99% of the users of this site and en.WP are from the the English speaking world and Europe. Muslims are a small and hard pressed minority
in our society. They are easy to pick on and vilify. Almost no one will speak up if you do. I'm speaking up for my neighbors and countrymen who are Muslims.
