It has to be pointed out to new immigrants that the US is a secular country. If they don't like it they can be redirected to a third world destination they can try and rule over. They've done it before and they will do it again and they're doing right now.

“Christendom might quite reasonably have been alarmed if it had not been attacked. But as a matter of history it had been attacked. The Crusader would have been quite justified in suspecting the Moslem even if the Moslem had merely been a new stranger; but as a matter of history he was already an old enemy. The critic of the Crusade talks as if it had sought out some inoffensive tribe or temple in the interior of Tibet, which was never discovered until it was invaded. They seem entirely to forget that long before the Crusaders had dreamed of riding to Jerusalem, the Moslems had almost ridden into Paris.” GK Chesterton

Compare this to what the President of the United States stated:

“Let me say this as clearly as I can,” Obama said. “The United States is not and never will be at war with Islam. In fact, our partnership with the Muslim world is critical … in rolling back a fringe ideology that people of all faiths reject.”

As an enemy combatant it must be very good news for Islam to know their Officer in Chief has a soft spot for you.
