U.S. Muslim Population Reaches 7 Million
Arab-American Business, August 30, 2001

The Muslim population in the United States totals 7 million with a third regularly attending the country's more than 1,200 mosques.

A study by university scholars working with U.S. Muslim associations found that 30 percent of Muslims are converts with the average age of conversion 16 years of age.

Muslims number 2 percent of the population, roughly the same as the Jewish population. Protestants are 58 percent and Catholics 25 percent.

Around 33 percent of Muslim worshippers are born in South Asia, including India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Some 30 percent are African-Americans, while 25 percent are from the Arabic-speaking world.

Study organizers excluded groups it considered marginal, such as the nation of Islam headed by Louis Farrakhan.

Ninety percent of Muslim religious leaders interviewed by the researches believe their community should be fully involved in U.S. political life.
