That's what they always think/say/claim.

If you had said that 'converts are not the ONLY ones...', then I'd definitely agree with you. But you said 'convert's aren't the offenders...', I gotta disagree with that.

Every group of people tends to mix their culture into Islam, INCLUDING converts. Oftentimes, converts try to mix their 'post-enlightenment' thinking and modernism into Islam.
