A survey conducted by a coalition of religious organizations shows that the number of mosques in the United States has grown by 74 percent in the past 11 years – up from 1,209 in 2001 to 2,106 in 2011.
The statistics were released earlier this year by Faith Communities Today (FACT), which is affiliated with the Hartford Seminary’s Hartford Institute for Religion Research.
The survey also reveals where those mosques exist, including the 10 states with the largest number of mosques – New York (257), California (246), Texas (166), Florida (118), Illinois (109), New Jersey (109), Pennsylvania (99), Michigan (77), Georgia (69) and Virginia (62).

It is their mission to take over the U.S. and turn it into a muslim state. With the current administration that certainly seems a possibility.

A lot of people turn to religion in tough economic times
You call that a religion?
Islam is a brutal cult that disrespects women and sanctity of life in the name of Allah.
