Most of them were no different from any other person, except some of the girls who wore full hajibs, though there were others who dressed completely in western clothes without anything on their head at all. Other than some wearing traditional islamic clothes they acted just like anyone else though. Of course you can point out that the sample is biased because we're talking about muslims attending college in a western country. Still, not one of them gave me any reason to think of them any differently from anyone else.

You need to check the ones in a country where Muslims have a more powerful impact on the society. There, you will find different sects literally having competitions, of who will gain more followers in a shorter period. Believe me, they are acting in ways that you cannot imagine. In United States, most probably, if they attempt to something like that, it can get difficult for them to move freely. Because, they may be followed by the legal authorities, and that means trouble for them.
But, you should know they act more aggressive than your local people, who only knock your door, distribute bible, and invite you to their church.
