I was wondering, would you say that the Muslims in a (relatively) free society such as in the Western counties are more Islamic than the Muslims in the Middle East? A friend of mine offered this opinion based on what he simple stated was the essence of Islam. He didn’t go into detail but to say: “Why do you think 95% of the Muslims in America are Black, it’s because Islam is tolerant and in a free society the goodness of Islam is expressed.”
Sort of makes sense to me, but I admit I really only know a little about Islam. Anyway, I was wondering what people thought. Are the Muslims in America living more of a truly Islamic life then their counterparts in the Middle East?
(I’m not sure if the question was framed correctly as the religion and culture can be a bit confusing to me, but I think you get my point)
