According to a survey conducted in 2020, there were approximately **** million Muslims in the United States in 2020, up from about **** in 2011.

Islam is the major religion in many African countries, especially in the north of the continent. In Comoros, Libya, Western Sahara, at least 99 percent of the population was Muslim as of 202. These were the highest percentages on the continent. However, also in many other African nations, the majority of the population was Muslim. In Egypt, for instance, Islam was the religion of 79 percent of the people. Islam and other religions in Africa Africa accounts for an important share of the world’s Muslim population. As of 2019, 16 percent of the Muslims worldwide lived in Sub-Saharan Africa, while 20 percent of them lived in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Together with Christianity, Islam is the most common religious affiliation in Africa, followed by several traditional African religions. Although to a smaller extent, numerous other religions are practiced on the continent: these include Judaism, the Baha’i Faith, Hinduism, and Buddhism. Number of Muslims worldwide Islam is one of the most widespread religions in the world. There are approximately 1.9 billion Muslims globally, with the largest Muslim communities living in the Asia-Pacific region. Specifically, Indonesia hosts the highest number of Muslims worldwide, amounting to over 200 million, followed by India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Islam is also present in Europe and America. The largest Islamic communities in Europe are in France (5.72 million), Germany (4.95 million), and the United Kingdom (4.13 million). In the United States, there is an estimated number of around 3.45 million Muslims.

SSRS conducted a survey of Muslims, Jews, and the general population for the "https://www.ispu.org/" Target="_blank">Institute for Social Policy and Understanding from March 17 through April 22, 2020. The study investigated the opinions of Muslims, Jews, and the general population regarding politics, important issues facing the country, faith customs, and religious discrimination.

For the survey, SSRS interviewed 801 Muslim respondents, 351 Jewish respondents, and 1,015 general population adult respondents. A total of 2,167 respondents were surveyed.

This is the third national probability survey of American Muslims conducted by Pew Research Center (the first was conducted in "https://www.thearda.com/data-archive?fid=MUSLIMS" Target="_blank">2007, the second in "https://www.thearda.com/data-archive?fid=MUSAM11" Target="_blank">2011). Results from this study were published in the "https://www.pewresearch.org/" Target="_blank">Pew Research Center report '"https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2017/07/26/findings-from-pew-research-centers-2017-survey-of-us-muslims/" Target="_blank">U.S. Muslims Concerned About Their Place in Society, but Continue to Believe in the American Dream.' The report is included in the materials that accompany the public-use dataset.

The survey included interviews with 1,001 adult Muslims living in the United States. Interviewing was conducted from January 23 to May 2, 2017, in English, Arabic, Farsi and Urdu. The survey employed a complex design to obtain a probability sample of Muslim Americans. Before working with the dataset, data analysts are strongly encouraged to carefully review the 'Survey Methodology' section of the report.

In addition to the report, the materials accompanying the public-use dataset also include the survey questionnaire, which reports the full details on question wording. Data users should treat the questionnaire (and not this codebook) as the authoritative reflection of question wording and order.

In 2023, Michigan had the second-highest Arab American population in the United States, with a total of *******. In that same year, there were just over **** million people of Arabian ancestry living in the United States.

In 2023, **** percent of Americans were unaffiliated with any religion. A further **** percent of Americans were White evangelical Protestants, and an additional **** percent were White mainline Protestants. Religious trends in the United States Although the United States is still home to the largest number of Christians worldwide, the nation has started to reflect a more diverse religious landscape in recent years. Americans now report a wide range of religious beliefs and backgrounds, in addition to an increasing number of people who are choosing to identify with no religion at all. Studies suggest that many Americans have left their previous religion to instead identify as atheist, agnostic, or nothing in particular, with many reasoning that they stopped believing in the religion's teachings, that they didn't approve of negative teachings or treatment of LGBTQ+ people, or that their family was never that religious growing up. Christian controversies Over the last few years, controversies linked to Christian denominations have plagued the nation, including reports of child sexual abuse by the Catholic Church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the Southern Baptist Convention. Christian churches have also been accused of supporting discriminatory actions against LGBTQ+ people and people belonging to other religious groups. In addition, there have been increasing concerns about Christian nationalism, the political ideology that asserts that America was founded to be a Christian nation. Although the majority of Americans still think that declaring the United States a Christian nation would go against the U.S. Constitution, studies found that most Republicans would be in favor of this change.

Muslims and Jews were surveyed for the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU) from Jan. 8, 2018 through Jan. 24, 2018. The study investigated the opinions of Muslims and Jews regarding the government, the most important issues facing the country, faith customs and religious, race, and/or gender discrimination.

This landmark 2007 survey by the Pew Research Center provides one of the most comprehensive portraits of the American Muslim community to date. Covering religious beliefs, practices, political views, and experiences with discrimination, it offers critical insights into the diversity and integration of Muslims in the United States. The study highlights both the challenges and aspirations of this growing demographic, reflecting their perspectives at a time of heightened global and domestic tensions surrounding Islam.

In the aftermath of the attacks on September 11, 2001, and subsequent terrorist attacks elsewhere around the world, a key counterterrorism concern was the possible radicalization of Muslims living in the United States. The purpose of the study was to examine and identify characteristics and practices of four American Muslim communities that have experienced varying levels of radicalization. The communities were selected because they were home to Muslim-Americans that had experienced isolated instances of radicalization. They were located in four distinct regions of the United States, and they each had distinctive histories and patterns of ethnic diversity. This objective was mainly pursued through interviews of over 120 Muslims located within four different Muslim-American communities across the country (Buffalo, New York; Houston, Texas; Seattle, Washington; and Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina), a comprehensive review of studies an literature on Muslim-American communities, a review of websites and publications of Muslim-American organizations and a compilation of data on prosecutions of Muslim-Americans on violent terrorism-related offenses.

To deal with the threat posed by groups that use terrorist methods against Americans, in particular al Qaeda, the US is faced by more than the problem of the groups themselves. These groups operate in a larger society that provides them with some degree of support—enough to allow them to persist. The purpose of this study is to understand more deeply the nature and extent of this support, and also to determine how it is evolving. This points to a range of issues. To operate, groups that use terrorism must be viewed as legitimate by some sector of society. For decades the United States has had an increased military presence in numerous Muslim countries. Attitudes toward US military forces are, of course, embedded in a broader set of perceptions of US goals in relat ion to the Muslim world. These perceptions of US goals are in turn embedded in broader attitudes about the US government and how it operates in the world. Once the complex attitudes about America’s role and the methods that are used by groups like al Qaeda against America are understood, we can turn to the question of how people in Muslim countries feel about al Qaeda and groups that attack Americans. A central goal of al Qaeda is to make Muslim societies more ‘Islamist’, i.e., more aligned with traditional interpretations of Islam and Shari’a law. Finally, there is probably no more central front in the conflict between al Qaeda and the US than the status of governments in the Muslim world that are supported by the US: namely Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan and Pakistan. To answer these and other questions WorldPublicOpinion.org conducted an in-depth survey of public opinion in Egypt, Pakistan, and Indonesia. This is the second wave of surveys and was conducted between July 28 and September 6, 2008: the first was conducted in late 2006 and early 2007. The research was primarily supported by the START Consortium at the University of Maryland. Other scholars of the START Consortium participated in the development of the questionnaire for both waves.

In this manuscript, we review the literature to date on Muslims’ descriptive and substantive representation in American politics. We then evaluate how Members of Congress discussed Muslims from 2011-2017 by turning to their tweets during this time period. We find that Muslims were most discussed by non-White Democratic legislators, and contrary to expectations, White Republicans tweeted about Muslims far less than their White Democratic counterparts. But when White Republicans did mention Muslims, their tweets were much more negative in tone than Democrats of any racial background.
