They don't need to put them in jail to alienate them and that's what is happening to them as the article points out. Hint: most Muslims come to Western societies to escape aspects of muslim culture. If you had any real world experience in a Muslim culture you'd know they were fleeing opression. They don't need that in the West, or they could go back home for that. Being familiar with having their lives controlled and dominated by self-serving interests they don't take too kindly to repression in "free" societies.

Ever seen any Muslim panhandlers, criminal gangs or racketeers? That's because they're probably some of the most civil immigrants the West has had. So what if >0.05% become violent? That's still far below most of America's immigrant groups. Ever hear of giving innocent people the benefit of the doubt?

There are plenty of Muslims and former-Muslims in the Tampa area. They've assimilated very well and I'm aware of no criminal or anti-social activities. And you can't say that of most immigrant groups of the past 100 years. They don't have ghettos, they don't have slums or racketeers or corrupt political machines running cities. They embraced American values and are thankful for their freedoms and opportunities. If you actually knew any immigrant Muslims you'd discover this for yourself.

Propaganda is a distortion of the truth. Actions based upon propaganda are usually flawed and error-prone. The study provides an ironic example of the errors of propaganda. The world isn't on Breaking News, it's all around you. Try getting some experience before throwing down blanket judgements upon others.

Exactly How are are they being alienated? Someone give them dirty looks?

“Ever seen any Muslim panhandlers, criminal gangs or racketeers?”

Yes, and so would you if you had any real experience with Muslims. In Europe they control the drug and prostitution rackets in many cities. Muslim gangs are practically the only seriously violent criminals in most Scandinavian countries which had not had a problem with crime until large numbers of Muslims emigrated.

“If you actually knew any immigrant Muslims you'd discover this for yourself.”

I have had more experience with Muslims than you have apparently. Your ideas about them are naive in the extreme.

“Try getting some experience before throwing down blanket judgements upon others.”

You should follow your own advice.
