Controversies Over Mosques and Islamic Centers Across the U.S.

By the end of 2011, there were at least 2,106 mosques in the U.S., according to the U.S. Mosque Study 2011 PDF, which was sponsored by a variety of research groups and religious organizations. The Mosque Study Project 2000 PDF, which was conducted a decade earlier using the same methodology, counted 1,209 mosques across the country in 2000. This suggests that more than four-in-ten mosques in the U.S. have opened since 2000.
