An interesting thing about Islam: When Muslims enter the West, they often loose a lot of cohesion, younger Muslims often fall into the same traps that Christians and Jews do in Secular Society, the younger generations tend to become (for lack of a better term" Moderates. They become watered down, look at the UAE (which has a LOT of Western influence and many Americans and Europeans who do Business there) they are not "good" Muslims (too the eyes of the Radicals), compare this to Saudi Arabia, the Royals are pretty compromised, but the average Saudi is very fervent situated as they are in ground zero of Islamic "Holy Sites", to be honest, LONG TERM: I think the greatest threat to the West and indeed the world, is Secular Humanism which will be taken to it's most destructive nihilistic expression.
