ICNA Report: The American Mosque from 2012 provides useful charts and graphs detailing the infiltration of American soil. The following quote from Page 4 of this report dispels the myth of Islamic heritage within the birth of the USA . . .under the heading Major Findings (bullet point three):
"The American mosque is a remarkably young institution: over three-fourths *76% of all existing mosques were established since 1980."
Since 1980. . .why 1980? Puzzle pieces may begin to fall into place when considering the following incident and resolution:
1979′s Seige of Mecca
Quote: "On November 20, 1979, worldwide attention was focused on Tehran, where the Iranian hostage crisis was entering its third week. The same morning—the first of a new Muslim century—hundreds of gunmen stunned the world by seizing Islam’s holiest shrine, the Grand Mosque in Mecca. Armed with rifles that they had smuggled inside coffins, these men came from more than a dozen countries, launching the first operation of global jihad in modern times. Led by a Saudi preacher named Juhayman al Uteybi, they believed that the Saudi royal family had become a craven servant of American infidels, and sought a return to the glory of uncompromising Islam.
