Do a little history and islam goes way back to before America was so-called discovered by columbus. Proof from native art, dress, living habits, and writings tell of muslims who came across the natives in those times. Islam has been around for a very long time and spread faster than any religion. America is what it is because of immigrants from all walks of life. that is why we are the superpower.

We have muslims that help run this country. Try looking at some state senators and who's seated on congress..you might be surpised.
