While I agree to an extent with what Zen said, I am really uncomfortable with the idea that a Muslim is not an American. I know a family of reasonably devout Muslims who emigrated to America and are doing well in Houston, Texas.
Dad prays five times a day and the family attend Mosque every week.
They celebrate all festivals and fast during Ramadan. They live by the five pillars of Islam. They are moderate people who would not attack anyone in the street, although as per their religion the older generation would feel offended by Zombie Mohammed, same as my father was offended by Piss Christ.
I admire the Dutch, who in a video about emigrating to the Netherlands showed images of topless women and homosexual men. The idea being that if the video offended you, at least you were pre-warned about what you would face in your new home.
Many people are offended by many things. I think some should be open to discussion. Obviously things like abortion and birth control are above discussion and if people are offended by that they should shut their cakehole or go and live in a Catholic country.
