Sure there are some elements within this religion that are unfriendly and who are not even accepted by their religion. The bright-colored women in their modest dresses are a good example to the young American women who have been influenced by American society not to dress modestly. I think it sets a good example for young people to see other cultures who have different values. Young women might see how many Christians dress and Muslim women and wonder why. I can't help but think that having all these Muslim people mixing with American culture will effect their own beliefs and values to move in a direction of the positive values of America. (not the negative ones) Then in time, people might demand higher quality movies, for instance, that are not disrespectful of women. American women might see the value of children having a mother that is more involved in their lives. Muslim men might see good things about how American men treat women, and about how religion here in America is different, and might become less religion-centered, and less extremist- motivated.
 
There is a lot of segregation in the LA area...Muslims usually live in muslim areas, hispanics live in hispanic areas, koreans live in korean areas,etc. Of course this is not always the case, and there are several people who are not part of the rule and live among other races. My point is that they are not making such a big impact the way I see it since noone is really interacting. In fact, when my family sees a muslim woman wearing a burka they just think that's ridiculous (and me too, especially when it's 90 degrees out there ). I think it's our church's job to influence society in a positive way...but sadly the church has lost a lot of its influence.
