NYTimes.com: Poll Finds U.S. Muslims Thriving, but Not Content

I mean, you might as well read the whole thing, considering I quoted most of it below...


Highlights:

A Gallup poll of Muslims in the United States has found that they are far more likely than people in Muslim countries to see themselves as thriving.

...

And yet, within the United States, Muslims are the least content religious group, when compared with Jews, Mormons, Protestants and Roman Catholics.

Gallup researchers say that is because the largest segment of American Muslims are African-Americans (35 percent, including first-generation immigrants), and they generally report lower levels of income, education, employment and well-being than other Americans.

American Muslim women, contrary to stereotype, are more likely than American Muslim men to have college and post-graduate degrees.


Muslim women in the United States attend mosque as frequently as Muslim men — a contrast with many Muslim countries where the mosques are primarily for men. American Muslims are generally very religious, saying that religion is an important part of their daily lives (80 percent), more than any other group except Mormons (85 percent). The figure for Americans in general is 65 percent.


Lower percentages of Muslims register to vote or volunteer their time than adherents of other faiths.


That is just retarded. Friggin' Muslims.
