American Muslims will soon match the US Jewish population by 2030. [fact]

At the macro level, this major Georgetown study found that Muslims in America now outnumber Episcopalians, and that by the year 2030, the American Muslim population is expected to be on par with the US Jewish community in terms of total population. They also noted that American Islam is the most diverse of any religious group in the country; the American Muslim population represents diverse demographic groups, including millions of African American Muslims, many of whom are descendants of slaves (as well as immigrants from at least seventy-seven countries around the world).
