Short and concise answer: No.
"Pious" Muslims will never be loyal to _any_ authority, government, or culture, other than that of Islam itself. The Quran commands nothing less.
I will go so far as to say that the same statement applies to the overwhelming majority of Mulisms everywhere, whether "pious" or somewhat less so.

Rule of Thumb:
'Muslims First Americans Second'
This has always been my experience, without exception.
I agree. I am also sickened when the pres. and the others refer to Islam as a religion of "peace" and "love". Sure, he shouldn't say the oppposite, but he shouldn't say anything period.
One thing Christianity does really well is adapt to modern government. The simple 'Do unto Caesar's' line really makes the difference.
