* American Muslims are foreigners: Islam was in America even before there was a United States.
 +
* American Muslims are ethnically, culturally and politically monolithic: The American Muslim community is the most diverse Muslim community in the world.
 +
* American Muslims oppress women: Muslim American women are not only more educated than Muslim women in Western Europe, but are also more educated than the average American. U.S. Muslim women report incomes closer to their male counterparts than American women of any other religion.
 +
* American Muslims often become “homegrown” terrorists: The largest single source of initial information on planned terrorist attacks by Muslims in the United States was the Muslim American community. ''Many American Muslims are peaceful and define jihad primarily as an internal struggle to improve.'' (Marvin Olasky).

* American Muslims want to bring sharia law to the United States: Muslim jurists agree on the principal objectives of sharia: the protection and promotion of life, religion, intellect, property, family and dignity. None of this includes turning the United States into a caliphate. <ref> [http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/five-myths-about-muslims-in-america/2011/03/30/AFePWOIC_story.html Five myths about Muslims in America.] Reisal Abdul Rauf. </ref>
