But it just makes it sound like you don't have any more nuanced or deep of an opinion, so you just keep saying the same thing over and over again so you'll feel like you're contributing.

In the US Muslims are up there as the best assimilated minority group in the country
So Europe's biggest problem is they're **** compared to the U.S. when it comes to assimilating different cultures into their own?

People already point to both

I've provided tons of nuanced opinion. I have 51 posts in this thread and only 3 of them have pointed to the numbers. Now I feel like a broad brushed Muslim too.

When the last thing Frownland ever hears is "Allahu ackbar!" then we'll call you a muslim.

This is a major problem in Europe. While Americans have a long history of being combative with new immigrants, Muslims have been a success story - they've lower rates of violent crime, high rates of entrepreneurship, etc. Even after 9/11 American polity was united with muslims. This hatred of Muslims in the states is largely the result of Slavic and European far right propaganda- which is why it often sounds so stilted and has been most enthusiastically endorsed by followers of failed European ideologies such as Trotskyism and Protestantism and their decrepit ideological offspring.

Muslims are awesome, and are obviously more culturally advanced than the English. I'd rather we ban those backward limeys from our shores than Muslims. It's no accident that the most confederacy was dominated by Anglo bastards. The English are the scrotal bacteria of Europe, they are lazy thieving gingers and the only two good things to say about them is they aren't Scottish or welsh.

Damn Straight. Gonna wait until the morning to fully reply, but I have some insight to add to this post that will back up this perspective. I'm too buzzed right now.

There are 54m English people on the island of Great Britain. You are painting them all with a broad brush? Dude, that's ****ing racism 101.
