Also, any tips on how to practice Islam in america?

Much of this will depend on which state you are in. Each state is as different from each other as countries are different from each other. Even within a state there will be differences in each county and often differences within the cities in the county.
I found Texas to be the most receptive to Muslims and the University of Texas has an excellent Islamic Department for those who desire to learn more about Islam. The North Central States have the least contact with Muslims and there is a need not only for Dawah, but for knowledgeable Muslims to take an active role in the few Mosques.
What State are you currently in?
