That is very correct. I see a lot of Muslims who do not know much about islam, and there is a dire need to dawah (propogation of Islam). But most Muslims I have met are either not sincere, or don't think that dawah is their concern. Most (those who I know) have moved here to raise their living standards, and their children now know almost nothing about Islam. Their aim is only to educate their children in the worldly affairs, and want their children to succeed only in this world. Alas ! This world is short, and the after life is eternal.
There is a need for a strong Muslim society. Muslims are scattered in the US, and Muslims, specially Muslim youth do not feel a sense of belonging, that's they adopt the kafir way of life. I have met a lot of muslim teenagers who are distraught, and have adopted to the kafir way of life, and even avoid Muslims around them.

Although there have been a lot of technological advancements, but the moral, and the social decline is getting faster. I was appalled by reading a man said that prostitution should be made legal in the US, because they are providing a service to the mankind. I do not know what's next. How low can a society go?
