Best Answer

Probably the same reason Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, and other followers of non-Native American faiths came to America.

Of course, there is no one reason why these people came. Some came to escape religious persecution. Others came to simply start a new life. Some came for adventure, and some came to escape debt. Some came as slaves, and some came as fur traders. The list goes on and on.

If you are speaking in modern terms, then you should know that many Muslims are born in the US; not all Muslims are immigrants. Those that are immigrants, again, come for different reasons.
