There is no accurate count of the number of Muslims in the United States, as the U.S. Census Bureau does not collect data on religious identification. There is an ongoing debate as to the true size of the Muslim population in the US. Various institutions and organizations have given widely varying estimates about how many Muslims live in the U.S. These estimates have been controversial, with a number of researchers being explicitly critical of the survey methodologies that have led to the higher estimates.[35] Others claim that no scientific count of Muslims in the U.S. has been done, but that the larger figures should be considered accurate.[36] Some journalists have also alleged that the higher numbers have been inflated for political purposes.[37] On the other hand, some Muslim groups blame Islamophobia and the fact that many Muslims identify themselves as Muslims but do not attend mosques for the lower estimates.[38]
The following are a few of these disputed estimates:
