Islam in the United States

Islam is the third largest religion in the United States, after Christianity and Judaism. A 2017 study estimated that 3.35 million Muslims were living in the United States, about 1.1 percent of the total U.S. population. Pew Research Center has subdivided the Muslim community and their percentages into two subsets, namely Sunni Islam (89%) and Shi'ism (11%). Conversion to Islam in large cities has also contributed to its growth over the years as well as its influence on black culture and hip-hop music.
