However, it is difficult to generalize about American Muslims. They are converts, immigrants, factory workers and doctors. This varied community is unified by a common faith, underpinned by a nationwide network of a large number of masjids (mosques). Muslims arrived early in North America, the first mosque being built in North Dakota in the 1920's. By the eighteenth century there were many Muslims in North America. Great numbers of born Americans have entered the fold of Islam. They are from different classes; the rich, the poor, the educated and the illiterate. Today, there are over five and a half million Muslims in the United States1 and some accounts have Islam as the second largest religion in the United States, surpassing even Judaism in its numbers2. > Further, it may be appropriate to point out an important indication of the truth of Islam. It is well known that in the United States Islam is the fastest-growing religion. The following are some observations on this phenomenon: > "Islam is the fastest-growing religion in America, a guide and pillar of stability for many of our people..." (Hillary Rodham Clinton, Los Angeles Times).3 > > "Moslems are the world's fastest-growing group..." (The Population Reference Bureau, USA Today).4 > > "...Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the country." (Geraldine Baum; Newsday Religion Writer, Newsday).5 > > "Islam, the fastest-growing religion in the United States..." (Ari L. Goldman, New York Times).6 > > This phenomenon indicates that Islam is truly a religion from God (Allah). It is unreasonable to think that so many American converted to Islam without careful consideration and deep contemplation before concluding that Islam is true. These Americans came from different classes, races and walks of life. They include scientists, professors, philosophers, journalists, doctors, nurses, teachers, artists, lawmakers, chefs, laborers, and every other sort of person imaginable. > Source: 1.

Mungkin ada Darma Gandhul versi yang lain? > Tetapi pada intinya serat yang ditulis Ki Kalamwadi (nama samaran dari pujangga Raden Ngabehi Ronggowarsito) adalah kekecewaan orang- orang Jawa saat masuknya Islam. Serat ini juga sekaligus mengoreksi sejarah masuknya Islam di Jawa (dan Indonesia) yang digembar- gemborkan sebagai cinta damai, tapi dalam kenyataannya berdarah-darah dan penuh intrik. Hal serupa juga terjadi di wilayah lain dengan pola yang mirip: merebut kekuasaan yang sah. Mereka juga tak rela tindakan para wali yang suka mengutuk dan memusnahkan patung-patung peninggalan nenek moyang, karena > dianggap sebagai berhala yang tak sesuai dengan nilai-nilai Islam.

Kala mendengar anaknya akan menyerang Majalengka, ia sungguh masygul. Awalnya mereka minta izin baik-baik ingin menyebarkan agama Islam di Jawa, tapi akhirnya menikam dari belakang. > > Tak puas jadi ulama saja, mereka lalu meminta-minta jabatan.

Senjatanya mereka simpan, sehingga pasukan Majalengka tak siap untuk menangkalnya. Runtuhlah kerajaan Majalengka (Majapahit), lalu berjayalah kerajaan Islam di Demak, walau tak lama. Beribu-ribu orang yang tak mau masuk Islam dibunuhi. Sebagian lari ke gunung-gunung, sebagian lagi menyeberang ke Pulau Bali. > > Di Serat Darma Gandhul, Ki Kalamwadi juga mengajarkan tentang keutamaan dalam hidup dan soal pernikahan.
