In the 21st century, Islam is an American faith tradition of terror, hate, violence and mass murder. But beyond that, the Mother Mosque of America, once known as The Rose of Fraternity Lodge and also known as Moslem Temple, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is the longest-standing mosque in North America. Built in 1934, it is the second oldest after the mosque built in tiny Ross, North Dakota, which was built in 1929.

I it’s only tradition, it represents evil.
You can find Depression-era WPA interviews with Muslim North Dakotans on line.
Islam is the religion of death and destruction.

Sell the lie, sell the lie.
61% of muslims in America are first generation immigrants.
Leftists are anti-Christian. I have scarcely heard any of them denounce Islamic theocratic rule, slavery in the modern world, genocide in the name of Mohammed, allegiance to a foreign national identity.
At best most will shrug and say “no different than Christians”. A few atheist leftists will concede that Islam is a bigger threat (Hutchins, Maher).
I had no idea. I figured Muslim emigration to the U.S. began in 1964. It’s very odd that they would be so far into the interior of the country . . . or is it???
Something like 93 Lebanese were on the Titanic and most of them went down with the ship. So far as we know most of them were Christian, but some Muslims would have come over at that time as well. Most of them probably headed for the cities, but there were about 300 Syrians in North Dakota in 1920. The group in Ross included farmers and homesteaders, and that was unusual for Lebanese and other Arab immigrants, who were often shopkeepers or peddlers. You might remember that two recent US senators from South Dakota were of Lebanese (Christian) descent.
There was some Muslim migration to the US from after the Civil War to after WW1 during the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. Mostly to the Midwest.
Wasn’t a whole lot. They adapted the ways of their new land.
Before that Muslims were rare here. Mostly slaves who’d been indoctrinated by their Arab conquerors.
Geller now in bed with vanden Heuvel?
… and by the Star Spangled prequel poem Francis Scott Key wrote, in honor of our first great muslim fighting hero, Stephen Decatur, to the same tune but nine years before he wrote what became our national anthem, When the Warrior Returns. We need more of its third stanza!
Isosceles or right?
Perhaps obtuse is what is meant.
I suspect that the definite ambiguity is deliberate, if perhaps subconscious. There are many ways to avoid it.
"The term first-generation can refer to either people who were born in one country and relocated to another at a young age, or to their children born in the country they have relocated to. The term second-generation refers to children of first-generation immigrants, and thus exhibits the same ambiguity."
Mercifully, you failed to include citizenship into your post.
I’ve seen a government statistic but what I’m finding in web searching just now is from PEW.
“Muslims now (2015) account for 4% of foreign-born residents in this country, up from 2% in 2007.”
“Roughly one-in-seven (15%) of the more than 35,000 participants in the new survey were born outside the U.S.”
“Finally, the survey found that a number of religious groups are largely comprised of immigrants: The vast majority (87%) of Hindu adults living in the U.S. are first-generation immigrants, while about six-in-ten American Muslims (61%) in the survey were born overseas.”
“Interviews for the 2014 study were only conducted in English and Spanish. This may affect results, since immigrants who speak only other languages, such as Arabic and Mandarin, could not be interviewed.”
I suspect that some muslim immigrants may decline to identify (thus the increase in no religious affiliation claim).
And a more detailed report from PEW from 2011

Ban Islam. Convert them all or send them packing.
The first recorded muslin in the US was back in colonial times or perhaps earlier. He man in question was smitten by an Indian ‘princess’ and tried to rape her. His reward? Beaten by the tribe’s women and skinned alive.
There fixed it for you.
