The feeling of alienation is decidedly mutual. A recent Pew global survey found that 81% of British Muslims consider themselves to be Muslims first and British second. (Only Pakistan, at 87%, has a higher percentage of people who put their religion ahead of their nationality.)

I doubt that the answer would be much different for American Muslims--if answered honestly. There is a tipping point where the percentage of the Muslim population relative to the whole is large enough for the hostility to be put out into the open instead of being concealed. I would say Britain has reached that point.

After reading The Tipping Point, I find TPs everywhere, in everything. It's like having new eyes or something.
