Comment:Good article providing facts with statistics. There are many factors for Muslim Youth Isolation and anger. Unfortunately, as indicated in the article only 1-2 percent of Muslim Youth attend full time Islamic school and lot of money is spent on bricks and mortar to establish these schools. The need of the time is to establish in every community where there is a mosque or Islamic center, "Muslim Youth Groups". Provide financial support to these groups, so these groups can perform volunteer or civic duties for the communities, to every resident regardless of their religious faith. Muslim youths in general are not groomed by the parents/Muslim community leaders to have interaction with their non-Muslim peer group after school hours.
Muslim communities should pool their monetary resources together to provide funds to establish Islamic Institutes in the degree colleges and Universities in the USA. Islamic Relief USA, hosts "Day of Dignity" for the homeless people in 17 cities of the USA, and engages youth of Muslim Student Organization of area colleges and is very well appreciated by the local community, elected officials and by the residents. Now it is time for action. We should take lessons from survey results and instead of providing negative comments, we should act now. Too much has been spent in building mosques and Islamic centers, lets spend now in our youth development and engaging them in their community development that will give self esteem a boost.

Comment:Excellent article. I can identify with it, and backit up with facts and examples. The solutions need to be identified clearer than mentioned. Local, and maybe the Federal, government need to realize its implications ahead of time.

Comment:Excellent analysis of disturbing data. I have always been impressed by Hillel chapters on campus and think we can learn much from their model.
I have a suggestion. Regarding donations, it is better to have a specific project in mind to collect donations for. Even with Sound Vision's excellent reputation, many Muslims have been stung by contributing to Islamic organisations that were later closed down by the government for improper use of funds. An even better idea would be to apply for government grants or partner with other civic organisations. This would give more credibility, as well as increase the amount of funds available. Also, we would be able to learn from their experience dealing with the mainstream community.
