What will he and the rest of them do when more conservative leaders appear among them and tell they have to give up most of the things like football games ( along with the cheerleaders
) and the rest of the American lifestyle?
If such a leader appears will they all end up on a no fly list or some other government watch list?
Will such a leader ask them or their children to do things that they would never consider now?
If their numbers increase to be a sizable voting force will they ask for sharia law to govern themselves or the rest of us (think about all those alternative lifestyles and freedoms some have fought so hard for)?

They certainly don't have to.
Islam, much like Christianity, allows for the person's interpretation of the Quran and what it means to him/her. However, like Christianity, it is rarely ever operated this way.

You need to step into Politics and News and say that there.

The irony is, that in this particular case, the fellow converted because he felt that Christianity was too forgiving and/or accepting in the doctrine. He wanted something a bit more direct in what he was supposed to do.
What confused me so much was the fact, that if he wanted to pray five times per day, he could have done that as a Christian. I can't for sure say that the documentary gave a very good insight into his rationale behind converting.

I am glad someone else noticed this, since many on these forums think the religious right
is trying to infringe on their rights. I guess they don't know alot of these rights don't fly to far in a predominately muslim country.

Might as well stick your hand in a running meat grinder!
