If only the Muslims in Europe -- with their hearts focused on the Islamic world and their carry-on liquids poised for destruction in the West -- could behave like the well-educated, secular and Americanizing Muslims in the United States, no one would have to worry.
So runs the comforting media narrative that has developed around the approximately 6 million Muslims in the United States, who are often portrayed as well-assimilated and willing to leave their religion and culture behind in pursuit of American values and lifestyle. But over the past two years, I have traveled the country, visiting mosques, interviewing Muslim leaders and speaking to Muslim youths in universities and Islamic centers from New York to Michigan to California -- and I have encountered a different truth. I found few signs of London-style radicalism among Muslims in the United States. At the same time, the real story of American Muslims is one of accelerating alienation from the mainstream of U.S. life, with Muslims in this country choosing their Islamic identity over their American one.

HOLD IT! Last year there were 4 Million Muslims. Now there are 6? I am sick of these muzzies constantly inflating thier numbers! (They do that habitually pull this trick you know, the real number is 1.5 - 3 Million)
That thing about Islam being the fastest growing religion is propaganda and a bunch of hooie.
We don't have to assimilate. It's YOU who will assimilate.
The thing is that Islam is the fastest growing religion,
Maybe. Islams growth is due to the birthrate of muslims not from free will conversions to islam. Christianity is experiencing rapid growth in the third world. These freewill converts number in tens of millions. Islams growth is internal while Christianity grows globally.
Of course so, and who is the biggest cheerleader for not assimilating, which is called multiculturism? Liberals.
No, Yusuf meant Christians and Jews. This reporter is an idiot and needs to read the koran.
No, you mean that Yusu did not mean Christians and Jews. You also mean that this reporter is not an idot and does not need to read the Qur'an.

Jeez, just because you don't agree with what someone said doesn't mean you have the authority to refute it. Provide some evidence that Yusuf or the reporter mean other than what they said or STFU.
They have a little fiefdom in Utah. Since the 19th century.
You got that right.
Funny. Those same numbers can describe a country as white people move in.
You said something earlier about rejecting Christian values...
So you're a two-faced liar. Thanks for letting us know.
You don't corral vermin do you?
I beleive the term you're looking for is Üntermenschen, which says a lot about your character.
How is frequent prayer a refusal to "become an American"?
"Provide some evidence that Yusuf or the reporter mean other than what they said or STFU."
Go read the koran. It's express on the subject. Here's the first link on the subject just from google:

Until then, STFU yourself, little dhimmini.
Or here's a quote from Moussaui's trial, summing up Islamic thought:
"Moussaoui's lawyer, Gerald Zerkin, asked his client why ``you hate America and Americans?'' ``This is going to be long,'' Moussaoui said. He said the Koran instructs Muslims to fight against those who don't acknowledge Islam. ``So from the Islamic point of view, we have to be the superpower. We have to be above you.'' Islam's goal is to force the U.S. and other non-Islamic countries to ``pay tribute'' to avoid being invaded by Muslims, he said. ``Otherwise, we invade you. Otherwise, jihad.''"
Share the love....
Lovely. (/NOT)
So, THAT's how you THANK Americans for being respectful of your religion. Selfish pigs.
No doubt our local dhimmnidog will dismiss Moussaoui as an aberration.
I didn't think they were in the first place.
