Islamic extremism’s rise in California — and what to do about it
The rise of Islamic extremism in California is becoming increasingly evident, drawing parallels to the situation in Europe. The growing Muslim population in the U.S. is expected to surpass the Jewish population by 2040, leading to a shift in political dynamics. This shift is reflected in the actions and rhetoric of various political figures and institutions within the state.
- ▪The Muslim population in the U.S. is projected to exceed 8 million by 2050.

- ▪Antisemitism linked to Islamist activists is reportedly increasing on California campuses, creating a hostile environment for Jewish students.
