Yes and no. That's not what I meant, but it is also true. The majority of people in Africa (600 million out of 1 billion) and the majority of people in Indonesia (300 million) are muslim, they are also mostly black. Actually, only 15% of all muslims, are middle eastern.
Now as for blacks and muslims in the USA: This is the breakdown of muslims in the USA according to the census

So yes, the majority of muslims in the USA are also black (South Asia is Indonesia, which is black) So south asian + african american = 59% of muslims in the USA. Did you think South asian meant Korea or Vietnam perhaps? Because I could certainly understand the confusion, but that is mainland Asia. This is a picture of a south asian man
