Wait, according to CAIR America is an inhospitable place for Muslims to live?

(CNSNews.com) – A survey conducted by a coalition of religious organizations shows that the number of mosques in the United States has grown by 74 percent in the past 11 years – up from 1,209 in 2001 to 2,106 in 2011.

The statistics were released earlier this year by Faith Communities Today (FACT), which is affiliated with the Hartford Seminary’s Hartford Institute for Religion Research.

The survey also reveals where those mosques exist, including the 10 states with the largest number of mosques – New York (257), California (246), Texas (166), Florida (118), Illinois (109), New Jersey (109), Pennsylvania (99), Michigan (77), Georgia (69) and Virginia (62).

Vermont has the least number of mosques, with one located in that state.

The survey also shows that most mosques are located in metropolitan areas, with Greater New York City ranked No. 1 with 192 mosques. Southern California (120), Greater Chicago (90), Greater Philadelphia (63) and Greater Detroit (63) rounded out the top five metropolitan areas for mosque population.

We are screwed. There’s a fairly new one near my business in Arlington, TX. The Saudis must be hurting because they haven’t kicked in for the minarets yet. I wear my American Infidel shirt every chance I get. I get lots of looks at Kroger and Costco. Dirty ones from the Muzzies and smiles from the patriots.

It’s not that difficult to figure out the symbiosis between Muslims and liberals. In 2001, Muslims attacked America, they hate America. Liberals also hate America, so it’s a natural kinship that they feel.
