...steady trickle of homegrown converts has been joining a flood of immigrants to create a sizable American Islamic community. The number of Muslims among those entering the U.S. has doubled in the past two decades, and they now constitute 14% of immigrants.

...meet in Brussels to ponder those issues and look at what Western Europe might do to stop the grumbling in the U.S. One answer: greater spending by the West Europeans.
