Amusing, but I don't quite agree with this characterization of "all of social science."
But here's something interesting: I've tracked down a source for the 10% claim, and it's absolutely bonkers:
* An editorial[1] in the Detroit Free Press makes the following claim:
| "an analysis of statistics provided by the American Medical Association indicates that 10% of all American physicians are Muslims"
That certainly makes it sound like the AMA thinks that 10% of American physicians are Muslims.
* The source provided for this claim, "Muslim Doctors Abundant, But Muslim Hospitals Non-Existent"[2] is a 2008 post on a site called The Muslim Link.
Here's how that post arrived at the 10% claim:
* 113,585 Physicians in the US (2006)
* 7,000 current and retired physicians are members of the Association of Physicians of Pakistani Descent of North America
* 5.9% of African Americans are Muslim; 3.5% of physicians are African American; therefore there are 2000 African American Muslim physicians
* 7000 + 2000 = 9000; 9000 is just about 10% of 113,585
I shit you not, that's the most straightforward reading of the analysis at [2]. Now it's in the Economist. I seriously hope they got that number somewhere else.
