I think ploome is actually a female, but I digress.

I for one, think muslims can assimilate. I for one, also think there is an extremely nefarious strategy behind some of this immigration, and especially the funding attached to it.

In my opinion, it is a death/1000/paper cuts scenario.

Whether we like it or not, Europe is providing the textbook example of what current western civilization is doing as it relates to assimilation, let alone, responding to the outright criminal nature with too much of the element.

Too many countries now have bona fide no-go zones. De facto waqf.

I would say that the USA is different that Europe when it comes to assimilation. We have been quite good at taking in people from all over the world and make our society work. I think Europe is so concerned about political correctness that they are willing to flush their own culture and heritage down the drain. We have a bit of that going on here in the USA as well too.

In the 1840’s-50’s it was the Irish….backwards, CATHOLIC, non-English speakers that would NEVER FIT IN….but they did. Then, it was Southern and Eastern Europeans….same thing…they will NEVER FIT IN….but, they did too. Now it’s Latin America (especially Mexican) and Asians that are coming in. Some think they will NEVER FIT IN…..but, guess what, they will. Muslim immigrants from many lands should fit in here as well. Each wave of immigration gives us a some of their culture….language, food, customs, etc. And, the USA gives them our political heritage. A nice trade, if you ask me. My only worry is we will become like Europe and forget our own unique experience.
