Islam, regarded as the fastest growing religion in America is at first an immigrant phenomenon. Immigrants come to seek better economic condition and more stable political life. When both achieved, though, the memory of the of origin reemerges. Identity is strengthened, groups areformed , and activities are held. Then come the next generation of immigrants, the second generation, who also concerned with their origin and tradition, but this time bounded with the new land which makes the overlapping identities grow in such a complex way.
