Muslims are big players in American economy
Although often associated with Arabs, Muslims represent dozens of ethnic groups, including Whites, Blacks, Hispanics and Asians.
The study, which was conducted earlier this year, interviewed 350 Muslim Americans in 20 states. It found:
? Muslims make up at least 2% of the U.S. population and two-thirds are under the age of 40.
? About 21% of Muslim Americans between the ages of 25 to 34 are registered voters, compared with 15% of people in that group across the country.
? Nearly 30% of U.S. Muslims are converts to Islam.
? 71% of Muslims believe advertisers rarely show anyone of their faith or ethnicity in advertising. That compares with 34% of the general population that believes the same thing.
? Around 70% of American Muslims over 25 have a college education, compared to 26% of the general U.S. population.
Nationally, the food, finance and apparel industries appear to be the most influential markets for consumers who follow Islam.
According to the Thompson study, the global market for halal ? food prepared in accordance with Islamic law ? is worth an estimated $580 billion annually.
