Obviously its more than frequent prayer, Christians pray frequently while simultaneously carrying on american culture. It has to do with the blatant disregard of an effort to become americans. They dont want to. they want to us America, eventually taking it over and living under Islamic rule.
Its obvious that you are coming in here and just trying to start crap. So maybe take some of your own advice.. I believe it went something like STFU, but I'll be more subtle, just shut up please.
The article itself is poorly written. It never states what "American values" young Muslims are rejecting. It goes into great detail how they don't approve of "drinking" and "dating" and prefer instead modest "religious" dress. Of course, the same could be said of the Lubavitchers, the Seventh-Day Adventists, the Hutterites, etc. Would you say that Hasidic kids in Brooklyn aren't "assimilated" because they reject keggers and Britney Spears? Of course you wouldn't.

The Pledge of Allegiance is not meant to be accompanied by a shot of whiskey. They're rejecting some parts of America's hedonistic youth culture, and they're certainly drawing away from people like you who hate them because of their faith.
Of course, you're avoiding me, telling me to shut up. I'm just as American and jsut as patriotic as you -- possibly more so. Are you as assimilated as you think?
