Number of mosques in US grows, but Black mosques in decline
Increasing numbers of Black American mosques are closing, while the overall number of mosques in the United States continues to grow, according to a new report.
The American Mosque 2020: Growing and Evolving, released June 2, shows key changes in Muslim demographics as they relate to places of worship. The report, jointly published by the Islamic Society of North America, the Center on Muslim Philanthropy, and the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding, was written by Ihsan Bagby, who produced similar survey reports in 2001 and 2010.
