study of three American Muslims, analyzing their views and experience in relation to the issue of levels of assimilation. The basic research question is what is the level of assimilation of these three American Muslims. The outline of your paper should be: • Opening paragraph • Discussion of the concept of levels of assimilation with its two factors or tension and integration of extrinsic and intrinsic values and practices. • Discussion of the variables associated with determining tension and integration of extrinsic and intrinsic values/practices. • Full discussion of each person and their responses • Conclusion as to the level of assimilation of each person and the implications for the American Muslim community.
