In 20 states, mostly in the Midwest and South, Islam is the largest non-Christian faith tradition.

The second-largest religion in 20 states is Islam BY REID WILSON June 4 at 4:13 pm Christianity is by far the largest religion in the United States; more than three-quarters of Americans identify as Christians. A little more than half of us identify as Protestants, about 23 percent as Catholic and about 2 percent as Mormon. But what about the rest of us? In the Western U.S., Buddhists represent the largest non-Christian religious bloc in most states. In 20 states, mostly in the Midwest and South, Islam is the largest non-Christian faith tradition. And in 15 states, mostly in the Northeast, Judaism has the most followers after Christianity. Hindus come in second place in Arizona and Delaware, and there are more practitioners of the Baha’i faith in South Carolina than anyone else. All these data come from the Association of Statisticians of American Religious Bodies, which conducts a U.S. Religion Census every 10 years. Here’s what their map of the second-most-practiced religions looks like:

I have friends that live in the United Kingdom and they have told me how Muslims move into an area in groups. They buy up as many businesses as they can and then run other businesses out of town. They take over local politics, schools, and housing. Once they get enough of them in the area, they actively discriminate and harass non-Muslims into moving away. Christian churches that have been a house of God for centuries are being turned into mosques. Now they are getting Muslims in Parliament and are working on instituting sharia law locally and nationally. Now they are doing the same thing here in the United States. Islamic leaders and extremists have said that they will become the predominate religion in America and change the nation to one ruled by sharia law. They are accomplishing this community after community and city by city. The first Muslim controlled city of any significance is Dearborn, Michigan where Muslims control the city government and public schools. The city police protect them and arrest Christians for trying to witness to the Muslims. Since Muslim girls are not allowed to socialize or dance with boys, the public high schools in Dearborn held a girls only prom just for the Muslims and no one said or did anything about this being a violation of the so-called separation of church and state. Christians can’t have Christmas programs with traditional Christian songs nor can they hold a Baccalaureate service for graduating seniors, but Muslims can hold a girls only prom for purely religious reasons. Murfreesboro, Tennessee is not far behind Dearborn. They also have a growing Muslim population that is starting to have an impact on the city’s culture and politics. Islam is spreading faster than many Americans realize. In a recent Pew Research study, Christianity is still the predominate religion in all fifty states. However, the second largest religion may surprise you. In twenty states, Islam is second behind Christianity. Judaism is the second largest religion in 14 states, Buddhism in 13 states, Hinduism in 2 states and Baha’i in 1 state. When the second largest religions were mapped out by state, distinct geographical patterns emerged. The states with Judaism as the second largest religion were all of the northeast states along with Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio and Tennessee. The states with Buddhism as the second largest religion were mostly western states except Arizona, which to my surprise had Hinduism as the second largest religion. Islam is the second largest religion throughout most of the central and southern states. These states are: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. If you live in any of these states, keep your eyes open to see just what impact they are having on your community, city, county and state. If the trend continues unchecked, we will be an Islamic nation within one generation and sharia law will prevail. Your daughters and wives will lose many of their rights and privileges. They will be legally subjected to beatings and honor killings just for talking to a male without permission or male supervision from a member of their own family. We’re already seen several instances of this in this country. Christians will be openly persecuted for their religion as demonstrated in a Pennsylvania court where a Muslim judge acquitted a Muslim man of attacking and beating a man for insulting Islam. The attack was witnessed by a police officer who testified, but the judge let the Muslim attacker go free and read a riot act to the victim for insulting Islam. Are you prepared to live under Muslim sharia law? Unless something is done and Christians get active in local, state and national politics, it will happen and a lot sooner than you realize. Dave Jolly
