Some one who was killed in US after 9/11 I believe was in Seattle suburb.. The person was actually not a muslim but Sikh but with his turban was an easy target.. some one clearly different.. Not all muslims in US wear cloathes that set them apart or act in any way that sets them apart.. For every muslim that offers prayers where ever he is, there are at least x time more who do not offer prayers during there working hours etc.. Broad division in Islam is Sunni and Shia.. Majority being Sunni but there are a lot of different sects with different variations .. Here is a test for you.. You live in Texas.. Next time you go to a grocery, gas, or any number of small business and if you run in to an asian or middle eastern looking person (the person may look a typical american as far as cloathes go) try to guess whether he/she is hindu, muslim, christian or ??.. Unless you know their name and ask specifically, you cannot (where as some one like me can guess with about 95% certainty but even there you may not know that this very middle eastern looking person is not muslim)
