Re: How are muslims changing Britain?

The difference is that we deal with those issues "correctly."
I think someone already pointed out how Jewish culture was absorbed in the U.S. as a segregated culture, with some of its own laws, its own food cleaning, its own religious authorities/courts, etc., and that specifically they transplanted their culture into the U.S., and remain by choice, segregated (because they are gods people after all, and the rest...meh). And it seems to work fine (they are rich and powerful, gives them a bit of an edge may be why).

As to American doing it right:
=======================
Sure they had muslim riots in France, but we had the Rodney King riots not too long before.
Sure we gave some Native Americans some handouts AFTER we destroyed them 95%.
Sure we solved a lot of our African American issues AFTER we enslaved them, FOUGHT A CIVIL WAR, then fought a "cold war of predjudice" for decades. Hell, our election may end up being decided on issues of predjudice, can the blue dogs and the south vote black? Jury still out on that.
============================================

All I'm pointing out is that the U.S. suffered through this sort of thing, and still does. An no solution was easy, rarely did we pick the "good" choice up front, only after we fumbled for a while. Let's let Britain fumble before we cry foul?

To me right now the OP looks to be showing that Muslims want a culture just like the Jewish culture in the U.S. So, they ARE following the U.S. lead, right? I mean, even if they exterminated them, or tried a civil war, at worst they'd be doing what the U.S. did.

I think a portion of Britian and U.S. population fears muslims like they feared communism. Some of it's got basis in justified worry, some of it's just good old fashioned race-hating.

They just need to visit this site really. The "Muslim" key word brings up those ads for the Muslim Matrimonial service with that cute girl on it. Let the youth see that, and they'll get integrated right quick. Partially in jest, but I think the best way to integrate a culture is to show the youth what your culture has to offer, and leap frog over the less open-minded adults. That's how we do it in the U.S. anyway
