Islam in America?

What percentage of people who are raised as Muslims continue to identify as Muslims as adults (in the US)?

According to Pew, only 77%.

23% do not identify as Muslims as adults even though they were raised as Muslims.

(Of course, that 77% is just self-identification, so should come with plenty of caveats.)

The real question is, out of those 77%, how many are in a position to pass Islam onto their children?

Would 50% be a generous estimate? If so, then even with that generous estimate, how many generations will it take for the American Muslim population to disappear?

…

Well, if these numbers are accurate, why aren’t US mosques shutting down at the same rate as churches and synagogues?

Short answer: immigration from Muslim countries.

In other words, the US Muslim community is not self-sustaining. Immigration masks that reality.

What should we be doing now in order to ensure that within 20-30 years, Islam still has a presence in the US?
