PEOPLE
Estimates of the total
number of Muslims range from 0.7 to 1.8 billion
worldwide
and 1.1 to 7 million in the U.S.
The Pew Research studies estimate as 1.57
billion.
Christianity
is currently the largest religion in the world.
It is followed by about 33%
of all people -- a percentage that has remained
stable for decades. If current trends
continue, Islam will become the most popular
world religion
sometime in the mid-21st century.

In MCOM 105, we go
beyond the surface and "the easy" and
the
quick reactions media consumers, and
work to see and understand
what mass media efforts are doing to
educate society about
diversity values, concerns and issues.
In American society, all cultures and
their rich histories are
experienced as being important and
sacred, but is that being conveyed
and respected through fair and
insightful coverage in all
mass media messages?
