lame, some more.  What are these practices, and do you find any Muslim practices incompatible with the United States?  With humanity anywhere?

This looks like some of the key things.  Don’t see anything incompatible with the US here, in fact seems very similar to the fairy tale religions most here practice.  
 

The core beliefs and practices of Islam are often summarized through the Six Articles of Faith and the Five Pillars of Islam.

Six Articles of Faith

Muslims generally believe in:

  1. One God (Allah)
    Islam teaches absolute monotheism — that there is one all-powerful, merciful God.
  2. Angels
    Angels are created beings who carry out God’s commands.
  3. Revealed Books
    Muslims believe God revealed guidance through scriptures, including the Torah, Psalms, Gospel, and finally the Quran.
  4. Prophets and Messengers
    Islam recognizes many prophets, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, with Muhammad regarded as the final prophet.
  5. Day of Judgment
    Humans are accountable for their actions and will be judged after death.
  6. Divine Decree (Qadar)
    God has knowledge and authority over all things, while humans still possess moral responsibility.

Five Pillars of Islam

These are the main acts of worship and practice:

  1. Shahada (Declaration of Faith)
    Declaring that there is no god but God and that Muhammad is His messenger.
  2. Salah (Prayer)
    Performing ritual prayers five times daily.
  3. Zakat (Charity)
    Giving a portion of wealth to support those in need.
  4. Sawm (Fasting during Ramadan)
    Fasting from dawn to sunset during the holy month of Ramadan.
  5. Hajj (Pilgrimage to Mecca)
    Making a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once if physically and financially able.


 

Like I said, you singling out one unnamed aspect that is likely not practiced by the majority and discriminating against the group as a whole is anti-Islam.  I answered your question, your turn to answer mine: Are you anti-Islam, yes or no?

Sounds rather innocuous

You’re not going to answer the question, eh?

I don’t have any objections to any of the activities you've listed.
