Hmmmm… Interesting
What would you say if I told you there is a nation that is 90% Muslim and they name streets and businesses after Presidents of the USA? Well, there is at least one. It is Kosovo. Here is a link to a great article about a visit to this country:

This is one of the places we need to keep our troops deployed to. They love the USA, NATO, and our troops. The citizens of Kosovo realize that without them, they would lose their country and many would lose their homes and their lives.
Despite the fact that they are Muslim nation, the majority of Arab and Muslim nations refuse to recognize them. Why? The answers are many. But, they include their being allied with the USA, and many Arab nations actually have allied themselves with Serbia. (You know, the guys who tried to ethnically cleanse all of the Muslims out of the former Yugoslavia.) Many Arab nations buy weapons and technology from Serbia. The funny thing is, (according to the article) the worst thing that happens to Serbians in Kosovo is occasionally they experience people being rude to them.
Here’s another article by the same author on Kosovo:

Its leaders also distinguished themselves from their Bosnian counterparts when they flatly refused assistance from Arabic mujahideen who wanted to fight a holy war there against Serbs. Albanians don’t fight religious wars, not against themselves, and not against others.
There has been no fighting or even tension between Muslim and Christian Albanians, only between Serbs and Albanians.The danger in Kosovo isn’t that international peace keepers are nurturing a jihad state. Rather, a premature withdrawal may lead to a resumption of the fighting between Serbs and Albanians that they moved in to stop in the first place.
