Some quick points from the report which caught my eye.

African American 24%
Arab Americans 26%
South Asian 26%
All Other 24%

(2) Under-Represented Occupations for Muslims
Occupation Percent
Journalist/Editor 1.1%

* American Muslims are under-represented in occupations that make public policy and influence public opinion
* Few American Muslims pursue Print/TV/Film media
* American Muslims are unlikely to be in state legislatures and courts where laws are made and practiced.
