Leaders from a representative sample of mosques were then questioned about a host of issues, including the number of worshippers associated with each one. The study, sponsored by the Council on American-Islamic Relations, attempted to identify every mosque in the U.S. So where did the claim of 6-7 million Muslim-Americans originate? This question was answered in a 2007 Pew Research Center study:Īn ambitious 2001 survey led by researchers from Hartford Institute for Religious Research provided a basis for the frequently cited estimate of 6-7 million Muslim adults and children. The Pew Research Center estimated in a 2018 report that there were 3.45 million Muslims living in the United States in 2017, and the number of Muslims had been growing at a rate of “roughly 100,000 per year.” This growth rate would indicate that as of 2020, the Muslim population in the United States was only at about 3.75 million.

Here are some interesting footnotes found in that Koran. 6 of the Journalist’s Guide, we find this claim: “Jihad” does not mean “holy war.” Irony abounds with this claim, and here is why.įor many years, CAIR has been distributing a Koran translation, The Message of the Qur’an, that CAIR claims enhances “the understanding of Islam in America.” As of 2016 CAIR had distributed over 130,000 copies of this Koran. Here are some examples from the Journalist’s Guide that act to misguide instead of to guide. Unfortunately, for journalists who have an interest in truly understanding Islam, CAIR’s “guide” will only lead them astray. The Journalist’s Guide is available here. …designed to give journalists and other media professionals the tools they need to gain a better understanding of Islam and write more informed, accurate and balanced stories about Muslims… It offers “background information about Islam and Muslims, best practices for reporting on the Islamic faith and a list of accurate and appropriate terminology to employ when covering issues relating to Muslims.” On August 23, 2021, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) released a new edition of “A Journalist’s Guide to Reporting on Islam and Muslims.” This guide was
