Wow seriously?
Now try the same at a mosque.

A mosque, also known as a masjid in Arabic, is a place where Muslims pray facing Mecca, and there were mosques in the United States by 1731 or earlier.

For America's first Muslims, prayer took place in private homes or rented public spaces which grew into Islamic associations.

As Muslims began to establish roots in America, their communities started to build American earliest mosques in Maine, North Dakota, Michigan, and Indiana between 1915 and 1925.

The Islamic Center of America is the largest mosque in North America and the oldest purpose-built Shia mosque in the United States, located in Dearborn, Michigan.
