Let's say you lived in an urban community that was more than 50% Moslem, then, if you intended to be a merchant there, you would not to conduct your business in such a way that you drove away your customer base.

Same would apply to a restaurant in an area thick with Seventh Day Adventists ~ he'd most certainly want to have a couple of bean dishes available at all times.

Doesn't mean you have to like these people, but their money is quite useful.

Ultimately some Imam tell the inquiring muslim to shun all kufir. It is ok to live among us as missionaries but not to “be like us”.

For one thing, I would not live in a community that was 50% moslem. islam is antipodal to freedom and our Constitution. islam cannot exist in a free society. I treasure freedom over capitalism, yet capitalism is the economic engine of freedom.

You obviously think islam is honky-dory, and that it can peacefully co-exist with non-moslems in the same society. I challenge you to show me one nation or one society where islam makes up 50% of the population and gets along well with non-moslems on an equal footing. Hell, I challenge you to show me one nation or society that has a 20% moslem population that lives at peace with its non-moslem neighbors. You can’t do it, because such a nation or society does not exist.
