Abstract
Islam in America expanded fast in the recent years due to the large interest in the faith that led to conversions. Those conversions were the result of the answers given by the religion to the questions that are unanswered in Christianity. Islam for the new converts means a guide for their lives and a solution to their problems. The numbers of muslims in the united states of America cannot be compared to christians and Jews as they are still a minority; yet, this mémoire claims that the growth of islam is remarkable and this has been proved through the involvement of muslims in all fields of the american life. In conclusion, our research has found out that islam has succeed in creating an identity in the american mind; therefore, americans nowadays do not see islam as the religion of terrorism but a religion of peace and tolerance.
