There probably are more black Islamic converts than white ones because of the heavy recruiting (Saudi-funded) Islamic prison chaplains have done in the jails among young black men who had no religion whatsoever. They're not all "Black Muslims" (members of the Nation of Islam), but are simply converts to Islam who are black. Some of the people involved in the first WTC bombing were black converts to Islam, but not NOI, as were some of the people thought to have been involved in OKC (aside from McVey, who had his own agenda).

There definitely are white Muslims, however, not only in the US but abroad. Islamics are recruiting heavily in Mexico, for example. And it is not unusual in the university town where I live to see kids who are clearly the product of white suburban America trotting around in their Islamic garb. They get glowing coverage in our local paper, of course (hint - it's a New York Times paper...).

There are many more non-militant-muslims around, with many more bullets.
