A truly frightening article.

What really jumped out at me..............."Islam is now the second-largest religious body in the United States."

Can this be true? I'm a bit skeptical.

Yes, that is a rather sobering claim. I don't know if it's true, I hope not.

This website claims, as of 2001, that islam is third (in the U.S.):

The same website also claims that islam is the second largest world religion...and growing:

Of course the figures vary quite a bit.

I'm still looking for some current polls, current meaning at least 2004. If I find anything I will post and ping.

In my opinion this is part of the problem:
Muslim immigration has bounced back

This has a list, from 2004, of countries ranked by percentage of muslims listing the U.S. at #115:
