Muslim immigration to America has a long history that goes back to the 1800s.

The story of Muslim immigration to America is the story of all immigrants who came to America. Many came seeking economic opportunity, but just as often violence and persecution in their home countries forced them to leave. Like most immigrants, they've left an indelible mark on America, bringing new foods and entrepreneurial energy to the economy.
