A common American Muslim is well blended into the society, and there are many stories of successful Muslims in America. Some of the Muslims in America have migrated to the country in search of better opportunities, in terms of education and profession, and others belonged to other religions, but decided to convert to Islam. Several thousands of Muslims live in America and have been doing so for years, and now they are proud members of the Muslim community, as well as the American. All the Muslims in America have their own groups and societies, so that they can be connected to their native countries.

Most of them are second generation Muslims, but however they still are a part of their families. They too try to stay connected to their countries, and they prefer sometimes to find life partners from there too. There has been a significant change in the Muslim culture when it comes to America. Some of them, who are converts and also second generation Muslims, have been influenced by the culture of the country they live in. This is not approved by many of the first generation or all of them. Most of the Muslim community however works hard towards keeping the culture in place.

Mosques are not too uncommon in America, and all the states in the country have a few mosques. The total number of mosques would turn out to be a thousand and a little more at least. There are also Islamic schools and also schools among mosques, which of course cater to the needs of the Muslim society in the country. There are also several organizations for the Muslims in America. These organizations again are the way that the Muslim members connect to each other. They will be part of the social as well as other aspects of life in the country.

These organizations also allow American Muslims to turn to them in their times of need. They help all those in need of any kind of help. Some of the Muslims in this country also make sure that they marry within their community, turning to their families to help them find life partners. However, there is still a certain number of Muslims who seek their own partners. Muslim men are allowed to marry women outside their community but the Muslim women are not. This has not stopped the women from seeking their own partners.

In such countries, where finding partners may be difficult, the Muslim families engage themselves in taking up the task of finding good partners for their children. It is quite common for all of them to meet together, and the organizations of Muslims, help them in connecting to the other Muslims in the country. The number of Muslims in America is a very significant number, and they have become to contribute largely to the political, social and all other aspects of the country's culture.

The average American Muslim is generally pleased with the life he lives, managing to create a simbiotic relationship with the rest of the American society, but also keeping his culture authentic, respecting all customs and traditions, and following the Koran in every step he makes.
