Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to have Islam viewed as equivalently "legitimate" in US cultures as Judaism was by 1899. Yes, it is "foreign," and "non-Christian," it isn't even "white." That goes without saying. They're basically "Irish," but what they're not is "black." They're people who believe in the same fundamental God as Protestant Americans, even if they're wrong and doomed to hell.

So how can Islam, and Islamic Americans, migrate and be integrated to an equivalent extent to European Jews by 1899 in the United States.
