Most Asians I know are Buddhist or Catholic. The French had a lot of missionaries in Vietnam back in the day. Most Indians I know are Hindu. I know this is all personal accounts but let me just look up some crap on google.
The US Mosque Survey 2011 counted a total of 2,106 mosques; as compared to the year 2000 when 1,209 mosques were counted — representing a 74% increase from 2000.

Q: How many religious congregations are there in the United States?
A: There is no official directory for all the congregations in the country, so sociologists of religion have to rely on statistical estimates extrapolated from surveys. These are often disputed, and to complicate matters, thousands of new churches open each year, while thousands of others close. Hartford Institute estimates there are roughly 350,000 religious congregations in the United States. This estimate relies on the RCMS 2010 religious congregations census. Of those, about 314,000 are Protestant and other Christian churches, and 24,000 are Catholic and Orthodox churches. Non-Christian religious congregations are estimated at about 12,000.

So of the 12,000 non-Christian congregations only about 2,000 are mosques.
