In the article you mention, there's discussion about how some young Canadian Muslims are getting radicalized because they feel like they "don't belong" in Canadian society and stigmatization leads them to cling stronger to a religious identity. But if that's the case, shouldn't that be the case for the US too, since outwardly at least the impression is that there's more stigmatization to being a young Muslim stateside growing up post 9/11?

There are also stats that show that the percentage of Muslim women wearing some type of head covering has gone up since 2010, and that the younger a Muslim woman is, the more likely she is to cover up. Unfortunately I can't find the article I read on this a few months ago.
