Everybody Draw Mohammed Day, I'm shocked, shocked to find drama on Wikipedia Options

Three-to-one-on that this argument results in (1) someone being blocked, (2) someone saying "do you know who I am?", (3) someone whining on Jimmy Wales's talkpage and/or (4) a mention in the Register. You heard it here first.

Pollsters vary their sample size based on a variety of considerations. Bigger samples are more costly to obtain, but yield better accuracy. For some purposes, a sample size as small as 30 suffices, where precision to multiple significant digits is not needed. It all depends on what you are planning to do with the statistics.

A sample size of 30 has a far greater chance of having significant problems than a sample size of 3000, and this pollster took samples closer to 30 per country than 3000 per country.

What?? This was a poll about the religion and opinions of "Arab Americans." You know-- people of Arab descent living in America? There are 22 Arab-league countries (they consitute North Africa, Sudan, and the Arabian peninsula). Almost all Arab-Americans come from fewer than half of these countries (actually, about 8 of them), with neglectable numbers from the rest. If you want to get a good sample, all you need to is make sure you sample proportionately from those. So far as I can tell, that is exactly what Zogby did for the AAI.

Okay, now you and Kohs clearly don't like this. But neither one of your have yet to give any rational reason why you don't. Would you like to try again?

If you think you have an answer different from mine, and you have some good evidence that you do, post your cite. So far, the only citations to anything about this, are coming from ME. You don't like my sources? Let's see you do better.

Q: How many Arabs came from what countries?

A: 47% came from Lebanon.
15% came from Syria.
9% came from Egypt.
6% from Palestine.
3% from Iraq.
2% from Jordan.
18% from 16 other countries.

For some reason, I think Indonesia has the largest Muslim population per country. I could be wrong, but it was something that shocked me when I heard it on the news.

Indonesia is one of the most populous nations on earth, period. Americans are somewhat oblivious to the rest of the world. That's why they are so susceptible to things like the Evil Muslim Conspiracy Theory.

Indonesia has more Muslims than any country in the world. More than Pakistan.

What?? This was a poll about the religion and opinions of "Arab Americans."

"What Arabs Think: Values, Beliefs and Concerns Landmark Study of Arab Values and Political Concerns. The views of 3,800 Arab adults polled by Zogby International "

I don't see "Arab American" in the title, and the word "international" suggests that it isn't American based.

"His book analyzes the views of 3,800 Arab adults polled by Zogby International from eight countries (Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Kuwait, Morocco, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Israel)."

Not living in the US but living in those 8 countries.

Not having 25 dollars to spend, I'm not going to bother and see if his website was misleading and didn't actually poll people in those countries.

Well, please look at page 9:

It says Arab-Americans, and they're nearly 2/3rds Christian. It references some 2002 "Zogby International" study, but since this one study is clearly one of Arab-Americans, we may well be talking about two different Zogby studies.

Why is it buried on page 9? And not on the website?

By the way, go Catholicism! According to that, most of the Arabs are Catholic or Orthodox, meaning that they can share communion with me. Quite interesting.
