MUSLIMS IN THE UNITED STATES IN COMPARISON TO ENGLAND You bring up an interesting question/comment

[LZ_Bayonet]

#80 - Interesting paragraph (and additional) in that story.

""If one were an observant Muslim -- and as our survey showed, [American Muslims] are, by and large -- then this is a society much more open to religious expression, as opposed to Europe, which is a much more secular place," he said."

The above and following paragraphs seem to be making the point that because the US is more PRACTICING religious than Europe, Muslims feel more accepted.

" "A Muslim might very well fell oppressed or troubled by an official Protestantism or an official Catholicism in a particular country, and yet at the same time feel ostracized by their neighbors who are not religious," he said. "A lot of Americans may disagree with Islam and may have some doubts about their Muslim neighbors, but one thing they wouldn't disagree with is Muslims' right to practice their religion."
