New Muslim Convert vs Old Muslim Convert

Seems like a tempest is brewing online on one of my yahoo groups. It got me to thinking about what new muslim converts need vs what old muslim converts need. The group is basically there to let people know about activities going on in the community and to reach out to really new muslims. That's all fine and dandy but where does that leave the old muslim converts? When you've been muslim for more than a decade you really don't need to be learning what the 5 pillars of Islam are anymore. You've reached a stage where you need more in depth information and something else. What do old muslim converts really want? In my opinion it is companionship. No, I don't mean muslim dating dot com. I mean real relationships with other muslims. What most born muslims don't seem to understand is that converts lose most of their contacts when they leave thier respective religions behind. And this is not self-imposed. Once the busyness of learning your new religion has come and gone, one looks around and wonders where did everyone go. Most converts are abandoned after a short while. Some get the superstar treatment especially if they are single (please marry my son,cousin,uncle etc routine) and some only get minimal attention. I was never in the superstar category but I heard that some men never graduate from this position. Many born muslims actually believe that converts have it made. They say this is your country and you have your whole family here and friends. By family they mean our parents,siblings and relatives. This is a joke because most converts are kicked to the curb when they convert. Friends also hightail it when they figure out how boring you've become. Converts of course think that the muslim community will become their family. Not! Most immigrant muslims are too busy socializing with thier own kind to be bothered with the lonely convert in the corner and if you are married with kids what on earth could be your problem anyway. On top of this I think old muslims converts want to talk about more deep pressing issues than what kind of hijab to wear  etc. Old muslim converts want to be proactive; organizing committees, protesting, writing letters. When you are new you are like a sponge but once you've learned the most important things, one asks themselves, how can I as a muslim help the world to be a better place. So socialization serves a purpose. With that said, old muslim converts need to socialize just for the sake of friendship as well. I could be wrong but I think this is one of the main issues. What say you?
