However, one needs to also recognize, that you take a muslim person out of the Sharia environment, and let him/her live, breathe, work in a different environment, their approach to events in life also changes. If this happens over a generation or more, the younger crowd does not even know what Sharia means, and would be uncomfortable living in that environment.

You would think so, kumar, but this is a pendulum that can swing two ways - look at the resurgence of Islamism in Turkey. Look at the millions of Middle Eastern women in hijab today "because it's their faith", whose grandmothers never one one in their whole lives.

I'm not sure that is the case. As evidence I would refer you to the huge number of studies and reports indicating that emigrant Muslims have become increasingly radicalized throughout Western Europe.
