My point was that the two cultures can't be compared at all and it is a lot easier for Latinos to "integrate" since the majority share the same religion as the majority of their host country.

My point was that the US integrates muslims better than the Europeans. We integrate every ethnic and racial group better than the Europeans. Yes it easier to absorb hispanic, but we also absord Muslims.

If not, I don't see how visiting an inner city school is going to prove the Muslim-integration points in the article (I thought you wrote that thing; was it someone else's article?). You're not going to be able to glance at a child and know if he's (A) 1/2 Dominican Republic and 1/2 Irish heritage; or (B) 1/2 African American and 1/2 Polish; (C) 1/3 South Asian and 1/3 Yanamomi with a Mom who eats monkey (NTTAWWT); or (D) 1/2 Appalachian and 1/2 Yemeni. The point is that Muslims may be integrating less into Western cultures than Latinos for reasons other than economics. The religious thing is huge. So is their having or accepting anti-Western sentiment. SD's cure-all of money, booze and chicks may work for him but the turd boys who took down our Towers had all that shit. The night before in fact. And Bin Laden has more wives than Bilmore has kids. And a fuck of a lot of money. And we all know how pro-Western that guy is. Same shit with the rich Arabs who dress Western style, live Western style and write checks to fund ulalating (hi Penske!) crazies with the strap-ons. There will always be an acceptance of violence (even among so-called moderate Arabs) against "Western Imperialists" even if the person becomes a Western Imperialist. Secretly, jihad and fatwas are appealing and romantic to the "moderate" Muslim set.

Very few of the terrorists (almost none) were raised in the United States. Many of them were raised in Europe. Again - we integrate better. I said that we have many multiracial people because you said we did not (Intermarriage? Gee I wonder why there's been more intermarriage between Latinos and non-Latinos. ) The true test of absorbtion is marriage across cultures. We have much more of that here than in Europe. Muslims intermarry here more, Jews intermarry here more, ethnic groups intermarry more. It is all across the board in the United States.
