If I were a betting man, I'd say the appeal of Islam is only going to grow here. I think that people need religion, whatever the atheists say (and atheism, I think, has many of the trappings of religion), and the traditional western answers to religious impulses have been diluted too much by political correctness to be appealing.

Viewed from a marketing perspective, Islam has a good deal to recommend it -- not least that it looks like a winner. Moreover, as time goes on, some will believe it dangerous to oppose it.
