The "call to prayer" is a sound heard five times a day in this city, but this is not the Middle East. It’s Dearborn, Michigan — which has one of the largest Arab-speaking populations in the U.S.
Like other immigrant groups, many came here decades ago in search of a better life. In the past few decades, the auto industry needed workers, so Michigan became a top destination.
Over the years, thousands of the Muslim faithful from around the world settled here, opening shops and restaurants, and turning
Dearborn is a Muslim dominated community, replete with mosques in every section of town and traditional foods from places like Pakistan and Syria.
But while there are plenty of cultural comforts from the old country, Muslim women say that they’re constantly caught balancing their lives between the freedoms they have in the western culture, and the restrictions they face from religious and societal pressure.
They worry whether they’re following the habits of "a good Muslim woman".

Muslim logic: They are so worried about becoming westernized they are coming to the west in droves.
They dont come here for a better life, they come here as sleepers to dstroy ours.
If they just emigrated then there would be no “struggle.”
Sounds like a win-win.
Some people here watch way too much TV or believe everything written on a news article. Where's an eye rolling article when I need it?
30 years from now? Look what happened to London.
Impossible. The two are polar opposites, they can't be reconciled.
About the highest paid hourly worker but it's another job American's refuse to do?

Well put! No one forces them to stay here. What we see here is a future Michiganistan- 30 years from now. Moslem men see their women as no more than breeding incubators. Just look what has been occurring in Austria, France, Italy, Germany, England and Sweden.
The saddest thing in the World is seeing women in mid-summer, wearing head-to-toe black burkas and playing with their children on Malibu beach.
Just what is in the Mus-slime religion for the women? Seems every man has some reward, but what for the women, there are other religions in the U.S. I would ask the same thing about.
That’s the saddest thing?
I dissagree. the saddest thing would be if they took their burkas off and you go: “ewww, put it back on please! ew! ew! My eyes, I’m blind!”
