what makes a Muslim country a Muslim country?

This reminds me of "Jews for Jesus".

What's all the to do about Keith Ellison taking the oath of office on a Quran? In a Christian country, this is a big deal. In a Muslim country, it would not be a big deal.

Just another difference.

Is the U.S. a Christian country?

This is the best answer offered thus far.

I like this answer too.

It's not a big deal unless you are crazy wind bag.

Ok, call me dense, I don't get this answer whatsoever. I think this is a Christian country.

Isn't that a question rather than an answer?

Unfortunately I think it's important to understand that currently no true muslim country exists. Even in countries that many might consider to be very islamic in the western world, in reality, in many areas of the local culture nothing can be further from the truth.

"Muslim" does not equal "Islamic".

I'd say that a Muslim country is one where the majority of the population considers itself to be Muslim, where Islam isn't "that other, lesser religion", and where worship and norms defined by Islam are predominant, whether engaged in my all or not, it is "Muslim" enough for me.

I agree.

I'd say there is no question the US is a Judeo-Christian country, which puts me in the religious minority in my country.

Off topic, but I hate the term Judeo-Christian. If we pair those two then we really hsuld say Judeo-christain-Islamic, but even that bugs me. Judaism and Islam are much closer in structure, belief and practice. Christianity seems the odd one out. Kindda like that sesame street game- One of these things just doesn;t belong here.

Okay finished ranting. back to topic.

I agree if we are talking about religious history, comparitive religion, values. But I definitely meant Judeo-Christian in that our country has been run/values legislated/foreign policy made by Christians and jews/israeli lobby.
