Original Note:
Diouf concluded that ~30% of slaves were Muslim based on regional demographics in Africa. However, Gomez notes that Muslims were under-represented among the enslaved, accounting for only 2.5–5% of all US slaves. In any case, the percentage likely shrank via assimilation. https://nyupress.org/9781479847112/servants-of-allah/ https://uncpress.org/9780807846940/exchanging-our-country-marks/
