Muslim American Rigths History of the group

The Muslims started immigrating in the 1880s they started off as one of the smallest groups but at the beginning of the 20th century they became one of the biggest groups in America. This group has suffered much discrimination because of the war and stereotypes. At the present day there are about 5 million to 8 million Muslims in America.
Knowing the number of Muslims in America is somewhat difficult to know because in most cases their records have not been kept. But from the data that has been gathered you can see the there is large number of Muslim Americans. Because of those numbers you can see that this is a big group that demands its respect like all the other groups in America.
This is one of the biggest growing groups in the U.S but it is also one of the most discriminated because on stereotypes.
