John Ridley - Huffington Post:
If you said Kabbalah, you spend too much time reading People magazine. If you said Muslim, you've probably read the Gallup Center for Muslim Studies "first comprehensive study of the Muslim American community and its habits, perspectives and beliefs."

Comprehensive is pretty much the word. Not distinguishing between native and foreign-born Muslims, the center conducted more than 300,000 national household interviews over the past year to try to coalesce the most accurate picture yet of what it means to be Muslim in America. Among the findings, as alluded to, Muslims are the most diverse religion in America in terms of ethnicity.

fairly interesting.

check out this Wiki ethnic demographic showing the 2008 ethnic estimations as a % of the population.  Catholic looks to be closest in proportionality with the population, with the exception being African American.
