Maybe get the US to win Baja California for some reason and try to settle it with Americans to outplace the Mexicans. Maybe get pogroms to start in Bosnia against Muslims, causing a mass exodus. With America leniently giving out cheap land, they go thereThe challenge is to have a majority Muslim US state in existence. If that isn't possible, how large of a Muslim population could a state get?
Missouri... dunno but that was one beer idea...The challenge is to have a majority Muslim US state in existence. If that isn't possible, how large of a Muslim population could a state get?
Easy. Joseph Smith discovers a translation of the Koran.
The Philippines is incorporated into the Union (very unlikely) and (even less unlikely) not as one state but as several including a Muslim-majority one in Mindanao (though Muslims are not a majority even there in OTL).
All alternative ways to get a Muslim-majority state are even less plausible, as far as I can see. (Henry Ford lobbies to get Dearborn separated from the rest of Michigan and it becomes a separate and eventually Muslim-majority state? But Dearborn is too small for a state, it does not have a Muslim majority even now, and Michigan can't be broken up without its consent.)
The Philippines can actually become part of America provided it goes to a more Puerto Rico route. Stay as a Commonwealth until the late-20th century and early 21st century. Mindanao, a somewhat Islamic isle, can become its own American province after that.
People can consider statehood for Puerto Rico because it would have a relatively modest impact on US politics in terms of the Electoral College, the House of Representatives, etc. By 2000, the Philippines had 78 million people--well over twice the population of the most populous US state (California). There is no way Congress is going to agree to anything that will revolutionize its own composition (and US politics in general) that much.
Simple. Make Minneapolis its own US state.With 1900 POD it is pretty hard. You can have higher Muslim population in USA but it is very difficult get any state Muslim majority.
