Mosques a major part of the Islamic invasion. And here's why:

"They’re also very engaged: The study finds “98 percent of mosque leaders say Muslims should be involved in American institutions and 91 percent agree that Muslims should be involved in politics.”

The number of Islamic places of worship in the United States soared 74 percent in the past decade.

While protests against new mosques in New York, Tennessee and California made headlines, the overall number of mosques quietly rose from 1,209 in 2000 to 2,106 in 2010.

And most of their leaders say American society is not hostile to Islam, according to a comprehensive census of U.S. mosques and survey of imams, mosque presidents and board members released Wednesday.

“This is a very healthy community,” lead researcher and study author Ihsan Bagby, an associate professor of Islamic studies at the University of Kentucky, said Tuesday. “Mosque leaders feel very positive, more positive than they did in 2000” when a similar study was conducted.

They’re also very engaged: The study finds “98 percent of mosque leaders say Muslims should be involved in American institutions and 91 percent agree that Muslims should be involved in politics.”

• States with the most mosques are New York (257), California (246) and Texas (166).

• Most mosques are in cities, but suburban sites rose from 16 percent in 2000 to 28 percent in 2010.

• Most mosque leaders (87 percent) say “radicalism and extremism” are not increasing among Muslim youth, “in their own experience.”
