And let's be clear, American liberals and their belief in multiculturalism will see to it that Muslim arrivals will never assimilate.
Their kalidescope eyes see a utopic world where the inhabitants are all holding hands singing Kumbaya.

Europe’s open door policy to Muslim immigrants has utterly failed. Its tolerance of the intolerant tenets of Islamic law and practices under the banner of multiculturalism has also failed. Great Britain is a case in point. Muslims have created their own segregated communities by choice. Even pro-immigration leaders are admitting they were wrong in their optimism that Muslims would willingly integrate into British society over time.

As the saying goes, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” A former head of Great Britain’s Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), Trevor Phillips, came to that realization after doing a 180 degree turn on the issue of Muslim immigrant integration.

As a member of the Commission on British Muslims and Islamophobia, he endorsed a report in 1997 that helped popularize the term “Islamophobia.” The report blamed widespread “anti-Muslim prejudice” among Great Britain’s majority population for Muslim immigrants’ “exclusion.” It placed the responsibility for resolving issues holding back “social inclusion” of Muslim immigrants on the British government. As the summary of the report states:

“The need for legal changes is clearly identified in the report. This, it is argued, will consolidate the changes in public opinion and popular understanding which are required and which are outlined throughout the pages of this report.”

Nearly two decades later, Mr. Phillips admitted that he “got almost everything wrong” on Muslim immigration.

“Liberal opinion in Britain has, for more than two decades, maintained that most Muslims are just like everyone else, but with more modest dress sense and more luxuriant facial hair; any differences would fade with time and contact,” Trevor Philips, who commissioned the poll for use in a TV documentary, wrote in a column entitled “An Inconvenient Truth.” His revealing column appeared in the Sunday Times on April 10th. “But thanks to the most detailed and comprehensive survey of British Muslim opinion yet conducted, we now know that just isn’t how it is,” he added.

The poll results dramatically evidence that a significant minority of Muslims living in Great Britain have core beliefs that are in direct opposition to the fundamental precepts of Western secular beliefs, including a pluralistic democracy and fundamental human rights such as freedom of expression, freedom of religion and equality of all people.

It is awfully clear that the basic precepts of Islam run contrary to the values of western civilization, which is based on humanism. But, one could say the same about the Christian fundamentalists and conservative Judaism. Unfortunately, I don't see the equivalent of main line (non-fundamentalist) Christianity and progressive Judaism within the Islamic sphere.
 
There is a vast difference between how European muslims and American muslims are treated in their respective countries. .... :cool:

In the U.S. muslims are for the most part are treated fairly, and there are no barriers when it comes to economic and educational opportunities. They are for the most part assimilated into the local community, own businesses, work along side people of other races and religions, and their children mix with other non-muslim children in public school. This is why you don't see muslims rioting in America.

In Europe it's another story. The countries there, Britain and France for example, are still strong class conscious societies, and non indigenous citizens are automatically relegated to the lower class. There is very little interaction between the muslims and the surrounding population. Job opportunities are limited, and most muslims find themselves relegated to living in ghetto type enclaves with little chance of upward mobility. This breeds resentment and an "us vers them" mentality.

You have to understand that the difference is not located within the native communities but within the Muslim communities. There is no Muslim who identifies himself with France or the UK. They create isolated societies, make their own Ghettos. "Tolerance" goes that far in the UK that you won´t find piggy banks at bank counters. Christmas decoration is banned in many places. All in the name of "tolerance". Wouldn´t it be tolerance that a Muslim accepts piggy banks and Christmas? See the hypocrisy? Those regimes breed this filthy scum and the natives are just fair game.

In Italy Muslims integrate and do not push their religion or culture as much as those in France and the UK. It may be that there are fewer of them.

As the Christmas season kicks off in Italy, which refuses to officially recognize Islam, the country’s newest Muslims try to integrate at any cost."
