This is the same in Britain. It is rarely the first generation of immigrants that raise any protest. Their children however are brought up in a country where they are entitled to have their say and to the benefits that living in a reasonably affluent free thinking society affords. They are British, but the difference between their home and the street leads them to identify themselves as British Muslim (you almost never hear British Asian). So they are more vocal about their religion.
