"BTW the majority Muslims in US are not immigrants from middle east or South Asia. They are mostly Afro-Americans converts."

Do you have a source for that? According to "American Islam: The Struggle for the Soul of a Religion," by Paul Barrett,:

"People of South Asian descent — those with roots in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Afghanistan — make up 34 percent of American Muslims ... Arab-Americans constitute 26 percent, while another 20 percent are native-born American blacks, most of whom are converts. The remaining 20 percent come from Africa, Iran, Turkey and elsewhere."

Thus 80% of US Muslims are immigrants or children of immigrants; and 20% are African-American.

I am not sure how accurate that observation is. The author may have included emigrants from South Asia and middle east who come here as visitors, student or on work permits....... in which case they are still foreigners, not Americans. In that case, yes, their number maybe larger.

I had read a different article (probably written by Fareed Zakharia cant remember) which said the largest group of American Muslims in the US are Afro-Americans (which also includes people following Nation of Islam). In fact Islam is the fastest growing religion in US because of conversions inside prisons where you have a large population of Afro Americans.
