History of Islam in the United States of America:
Islam is one of the fastest growing religions in the United States.
There is no definite or exact number given afthe American Muslim
population. One source says American Muslims make between
2.8 and 3.5 million of United States population although earlier
claims were said to be between 5 million and 8 million (http://www.islamlOl.com/history/population2_usa.html. May 3, 2007).
The common perception is that American Muslims are made of
mainly immigrant pcpulation. This may be true of the 1960s in
which the country witnessed an influx of Muslims, who were
well-educated and politically astute, migrating to the United
Stales. However, the history of African-American Muslims must
not be overlooked for African Muslims sailed to America long
before the slave trade came into existence. |
