They were not generalizations. They were specific questions.

There are problems with every group that involves humans.

That is a generalization.

When you say it goes to the core of being Muslim, that reflects on you, not Islam.
It reflects my study of Islam. As it does the opinion of MANY scholars of that theocratic system. It reflects the opinion of converts and atheists who left that system. It reflects the understanding of those Muslims who want to reform their theocracy--it has not yet been reformed.

And it was about specific problems arising from that theocratic, cultural system in England and Europe. Actual problems that I did not invent. And the divide in Europe, over its Muslim immigration problem is large and a potential break-up of the EU. And a major reason the Brits voted for Brexit.

It was not about Muslims in the U.S.

An important distinction, Muslims here are doing a good job of assimilating. Not in Europe, where they want to set up places in their new countries, that look and operate like their old countries. That's a problem.

Multi-ethnicity within a nation, is awesome. Multiculturalism, isn't. Someone said "immigration without assimilation, is an invasion". That's not that far off.

Many who claim they (immigrants ) dont Assimilate .. Feel Multi-ethnicity within a nation, is not awesome. Multiculturalism, is even worse. And any immigration is an invasion..

But what is Assimilation to theses people? Who don't understand the term or how it even works or what it looks like ....

what does Assimilation look like how is measured what level is considered acceptable??

How does an Immigrant Assimilate thats acceptable in America Today ??

The current climate: I feel the answer is anywhere . But here!

"And any immigration is an invasion"

Who is saying that legal immigration, done by people willing to assimilate, is bad? Who?

"what does Assimilation look like how is measured what level is considered acceptable?? "

FFS, look it up in the dictionary.

As far as Muslims go, it means letting girls go to school instead of enslaving them, not forcing them to dress like ninjas if they don't want to, and accepting duly constituted civil laws even when they conflict with your religion. Embracing the culture of your new country, instead of wanting to incinerate everyone who embraces that culture, would also be a good start.
