What events and figures have shaped the development of Islam in the United States?

Question

i really don't know how to answer this question or even what points to hit.
I know that one even was the Iraqi war but i don't know what else i can put because i don't want to start a controversial arguement within the class.This is why i don't know what else to say or even how to say in regards to this question.

This site will help you with that.

I think the biggest event that shaped it is greatly increased immigration in the last twenty years, especially Pakistani. THe numbers of Islamics have grown greatly in a short period.

The number of Muslims has also grown because of their relatively higher birthrate compared with other religious groups.

thank you everyone :)
