I'd love to agree with that sentence, but we haven't seen the same thing in many of the second generation muslim families here in the states, many of them see themselves as muslims who happen to be living in America/Canada/UK, not citizens on these countries. Again, I hope you're right.

Seriously, though, if those families are still living in the States a couple generations from now, their kids will probably be almost indistinguishable culturally from other American kids. Maybe it's different in Canada, but I know plenty of children and grandchildren of immigrants (religious and non-) who are Canadian to the bone and don't see themselves as anything else. I myself am almost part of that group, except one generation farther along. I'd be lost in any of the countries my great-grandparents came from, with the possible exception of England.
