I changed the $wgSiteName from Islamintheus to "Islam in the US" and this does change the Page name in the browser, and "About..." in the footer.
But is this variable used anywhere else, and is it ok to have spaces in it? Thanks for the tip, but did not want to mess anything up elsewhere.

Where could I change this? Thanking anyone for any info.
It's in LocalSettings.php, I think. $wgSiteName or something like that.
$wgSitename is effectively the "master" variable that gets used in system messages wherever the {{SITENAME}} magic word appears (so in the title for every page, and the meta namespace, etc.). Titles with spaces work fine, but there can be some issues with the meta namespace (see < http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgMetaNamespace%3E); you could add underscores for that, or even shorten it or do whatever works for you. (You can do the same thing anywhere else, too, if it strikes your fancy.)
