Quote from OPTIONAL777:
When discussing a group, like Muslims, if we don't include American Muslims in the statistics, the arguments become invalid.
Although I lifted the sentence from you, I'll take answers from anybody.
Why do we say "American Muslims" and not "Muslim- Americans."
Every other group is hypenated with the race or religion first.
Is this a political appeasement? Somehow we must not forget that Muslims are American first and Muslim second? What's up?
