[extropy-chat] Islamic fundamentalism in USA

[Patrick Wilken]

As a nice counter-point to Mike Lorrey's alarmist post about how bad 
the Islamic situation in Europe is last week the LA Weekly published an 
interesting piece on increasing allure of fundamentalist Islam to white 
and hispanic americans. The most interesting point is that these new 
converts are much more fundamentalist in their beliefs (no western 
music, movies etc) than than the vast majority of immigrants.
