Only 23% of the Arab population living in the United States is Muslim. 77% are Christian. With Islam being the fastest-growing faith in this country, as it is in the world today, the number of Muslims in America has soared in the last decade, fourteen fold. Only half a million in the early 70's, the estimated number of Muslims in America today is between 6 and 7 million. 75% of them are non-Arabs."
