Long term participation in our concept of a what we deem "society "
and an adherence to what does not negate that concept. Participation
in culture, philanthropy, etc. Creating a consistent repertoire that
purports to exemplify an interest in the beliefs we posses. That
maintenance of a credibility is the only thing that can sway past
problems from overwhelming a present context.

We'd have a hard time inviting an ex Al Qaeda member to live in
our society. On the flip side, they, too, would have a difficult
time inviting any American that did not show a strong background
in their belief and culture. Remember that "misdirected" individual
who joined their ranks from our soil?
