How did Islam get to the US?

Answer 1

Just like Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism and every other religion got here. In case you didn't know, the U.S. is rightfully and originally the land of the Native Americans, not the the land of those who came as pilgrims, and so the U.S. is not based on any religion.

Answer 2

There have been claims of pre-columbian contacts between andalusia and native Americans I remain sceptical. what we do know is that of the 10 million African slaves brought to more about 30% of them were Muslims.Many of these slaves were from the Fulas, Fula Jallon, Fula Toro, and Massiona as well as other areas of West Africa.Islam has been in America from the start.If your interested in this topic you should read Jonathan curiel's Al' America: Travels Through America's Arab and Islamic Roots.
