So you live in the U.K.?
Yes, for the most part everyone integrates into America more easily... if they
want to. No one ostracizes arab-americans who become part of mainstream
culture here.
Strangely, of all the arab and perisans I've known none of them remained
"hardcore" muslim, even if they weren't born here. The college here has
a lot of muslim foreign students, who keep to themselves and return when
they're done. I guess it's the people who come here seeking a westernized
environment in the first place are ready to shed all of that.
So, yes, you would have a totally different experience. Even in places
like Brooklyn, where enclaves get established and things stay traditional
for muslims there seems to be a little more openess. I know of the problems
in France, Belgium and the Netherlands from acquaintences.
