American Muslims and Judaists (Les musulmans américains et juifs)
Judaists and Muslims did not discover the American Continent, though Columbus might have been a kind of Judaist.
This historical fact decided the course of North America and South America forever, as a matter of course.
But more importantly, Muslims and Judaists in the U.S. must be different from their peers in the Middle East and Israel. Future of both the religions might depend on them.
SECTION I: Muslims in the U.S.
What was unthinkabe always happened in the U.S.: the 9/11 Terror, Lehman Shock, GM Shock, and Mr. Obama's victory.
In near future, Muslims might take an important role in the American culture and politics.
Mosque Distribution in the United States
The size of the Muslim-American population has proved difficult to measure because the U.S. Census does not track religious affiliation. Estimates vary widely from 2 million to 7 million. What is clear, however, is that the Muslim-American population has been growing rapidly as a result of immigration, a high birth rate, and conversions.

Yet roughly speaking, 2% of the U.S. populations is Judaists, and Muslims also account for the similar ratio. Muslims can have a similar influence on American business, culture, and politics to the one Judaists have today if Allah wishes since their numbers are similar.

American Judaists have achieved their American Dream in New York, Washington DC, Florida, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Denver, Seattle, and so on while being given a chance to freely return to Palestine and Jerusalem.
Yet, before an American Judaist is elected as U.S. President, an African American was elected as President since he is a Christian.

The most important religious group might be, however, the one of Christians in Palestine:
Most Palestinian Christians see themselves as Arab Christians. In addition, they may also descend from a mixture of Armenians, Jews who converted to Christianity in the first three centuries AD, Byzantine, pre-Islamic Arabs (Ghassanids), and Crusaders.

They may be opposite to American Judaists in a sense. It is so since they might have ancestors who actually saw Christ Jesus 2000 years ago, unlike American Christians of today.
Rev 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
Rev 7:10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
