  • لا يكاد يذكر السكان المسلمون في ساموا الأمريكية، ولكن سياسة الإقليم على المسافرين المسلمين أكسبتهم اهتماما دوليا في أوائل 2000م. في عام 2002م، فرضت ساموا الأمريكية قيودا على دخول المسلمين إلى أراضيها دون إذن صريح من الحاكم العام لساموا الأمريكية. (ar)
  • American Samoa is an unincorporated territory of the United States, located South East of Samoa and consisting of seven main islands. American Samoa is a predominantly Christian nation, identifying as a region founded by God, however, has become more religiously diverse since the mid-20th century. The religion of Islam was first brought to American Samoa in the mid-1980s by Muslim expatriate workers from government programs. The region received their first native convert in 1985, although Muslim adherents still remain a minority in American Samoan society today. While the population is small, the spread of Islam has been a significant part of the Island’s history. As a result of increased terrorist activities globally in the early 2000s, specifically the Bali bombing which targeted American Samoa’s neighbours, the islands imposed a strict ban on residents of 23 nations from entering their territory without explicit permission from the island’s attorney general’s office. Most of the countries banned were either located in the Middle East and identified as Muslim nations, or were home to a large number of Muslim adherents. The ban has received opposition from those on the list as well as neighbouring islands, questioning issues of religious freedom, however, the actions taken to ensure the safety of the island’s residents have been largely supported. The religion still influences life in American Samoa, with the establishment of public education and health groups as well as a range of community activities by native converts and Muslim organisations with the aim of teaching the natives about Islam.
