North Dakota Mosque in the National Discussion...

The first Mosque in the United States is in North Dakota, and nobody complains here...
 
The first United States Mosque in Ross, North Dakota

Like so many other immigrants, generations of Muslims came to forge their future here. They became farmers and merchants, worked in mills and factories. They helped lay the railroads. They helped to build America. They founded the first Islamic center in New York City in the 1890s. They built America's first mosque on the prairie of North Dakota. And perhaps the oldest surviving mosque in America — still in use today — is in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
