(CNSNews.com) – A survey conducted by a coalition of religious organizations shows that the number of mosques in the United States has grown by 74 percent in the past 11 years – up from 1,209 in 2001 to 2,106 in 2011.
The statistics were released earlier this year by Faith Communities Today (FACT), which is affiliated with the Hartford Seminary’s Hartford Institute for Religion Research.
The survey also reveals where those mosques exist, including the 10 states with the largest number of mosques – New York (257), California (246), Texas (166), Florida (118), Illinois (109), New Jersey (109), Pennsylvania (99), Michigan (77), Georgia (69) and Virginia (62).
Vermont has the least number of mosques, with one located in that state.
The survey also shows that most mosques are located in metropolitan areas, with Greater New York City ranked No. 1 with 192 mosques.
Southern California (120), Greater Chicago (90), Greater Philadelphia (63) and Greater Detroit (63) rounded out the top five metropolitan areas for mosque population.
The survey, released in January, was the first of two reports on American mosques released this year.
This is certainly comforting news.
They’re here, they hate us, the “justice” department and its boss loves them.
America is headed down the same road to hell that the Europeans went down.
And who do you think finances their construction but Saudi Arabia?
There are not enough local muzzies to pay for these fancy structures.
Firearms are the spoiler for anyone wanting the Caliphate to succeed here. I see 0bama doing everything in his power to grab guns and the ability to use them(ie banning gun powder/lead) in the next two years.
Its the religious component of 'fundamental change'.You asked for it, America.
