Assalaamoalaikum
The one thing which is very unfortunate for Islam is that Muslims in the US have made Islam as an interest group rather than a movement. In the 2000 election most muslims were asked to vote for Bush, and in return perhaps he said the words "Islam is a religion of peace", but in reality we all know that he wants to shred islam into pieces. (Someone said that)
We have failed to come up as a jama'ah with a specific agenda. Now we should look at the quran and the sunnah, and act on the methodology of the Prophet Muhammed (PBUH), to be successful.
