Colonization can really sneak up on you. For now Islam is still a distant second to Christianity, but when you’re importing large numbers of immigrants whose main form of income is producing welfare cases, it won’t stay that way for long.
Just look at Europe.
Islam here is characterized by the green states. Buddhism by the yellow and Judaism by the pink. As you can Hindus by the brown and Bahai’s by the teal. Apparently there are a whole lot of black Bahai in South Carolina.

At the county level though, you can see that Islam and most non-Christian religions are concentrated in specific areas.
Islam has sway in twenty states in the South and Midwest at the moment, but its real growth is likely to be in traditional urban areas. It will just take a bit longer to turn New York into Newyorkistan and it will be easier to see the numbers impact in places where Muslim settlers don’t have much demographic competition from non-Muslim immigrant groups.

Its the largest religion in the White Hut

Its one of about 4 major religions and the second largest globally.
I would say that “New Age” is really the second largest religion pretty much everywhere, and maybe even the largest in some places, but since it is so diffuse it doesn’t show up in the stats. Many New Agers might describe themselves as Buddhist or Christian or something else, and might show up in those categories, and some might describe themselves as “none of the above” and therefore be counted as non-religious.
What about all those illegal children and teenagers coming over the border.
They should broadcast the Moslem Call to Prayer and see if anyone hits the deck in prayer.
The invasion is getting clearer and clearer all the time.
What a load of crap! I guess all the Hindus in AZ are speaking Spanish! And then there’s all those Redneck Jews from Tennessee! I am just wondering if they guys who put this “study” together own a bong mfg. business in Colorado!
If they weren’t Muslim before they came across the border, they will be taken into madrassa schools and the conversion will start.
Built-in fifth column. They will be the new “protected class”.
Americans of African descent, move over. You will no longer be accorded preferential treatment. There is a new underclass.
Believe this map, based on where I live, is a sham.
We have little to no Buddhists here....
Wow. I can’t believe it’s overtaking the southern states. We are in trouble.
Beating out Buddism, Hinduism, and Baha’i. Set your bar pretty low, didn’t you?
What do you think inspired him ?
Terrifying, regardless.
Unless you start in first place, to get to first you need to begin by getting to second.
Interesting that there is one county somewhere where Christianity is only the second-largest religion. Does anyone have any ideas where that might be?
With all the new immigrants flowing in, I see Catholisism on the rise soon. Just a guess though.
It also helps when you lump all sects of Christianity into one group. Basically what the map is saying is that a state can be 98% Christian, 1% Muslim, and 1% everything else. Hardly a threat.
Does that statistic include prison populations?
