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.
It has to do with the blatant disregard of an effort to become americans.
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?
Further, its pretty presumptuous of you to assume that I hate "them". I never said anything to that effect. Do I think its bull crap that some of them make no effort to identify with America and rather seek to replace American traditions with those according to the rule of Islam... yes I do.

Let me point out what you posted first.. it goes like this (per post 66) reporter mean other than what they said or STFU.
I'm not sure how you can assume that you are either more patriotic or American as I am. Not sure how you can gouger that, but regardless, I'm not interested in a pissing contest.
Are you a muslim? I didnt want to spend a few hours perusing your previous posts.
