my main problem with the practice of Islam is the notion that freedom of religion is not something to be valued. This is based on conversations I have had with Muslims here in America, that view other churches in their homelands (Iran, Yemen) as a sort of pollution or insult to their faiths and nations. "you can have your beliefs, but don't show it publicly."
I don't gather that the average Muslim has a viewpoint like what Dan posted above.
It will be interesting to see what kind of Muslim faith ends up being practiced here in America by 2nd and 3rd generation Muslim-Americans.
