I understand your point, but England has proven to be an assimilating force over the years. I believe most Jamaicans there have assimilated well and have good relations with the ethnic Brits, after perhaps a rough start. Indians as well. Brits just have a way of adopting the better parts of their old Empire and making them British in a way that America has as well. Probably not a coincidence either. Tea and curries there, pizza and tacos here. :) Christianity and a drive towards commerce and exchange.
But there is just something about Islam that cannot be breached. It has the Arab tribalist attitude woven thru it that will always be impassible. I’m hoping that their kids will like Americanism enough to break free but what do we offer today? Crap music, white guilt studies at school and nothing but sexual sin and murder on tv. Which, in essence, is the opposite of what this country is really about.

You know, the Mohammedans around here seem to be assimilating at a rapid pace, especially the girls. Once they graduate from high school they lose the burkhas and are off to college, most of them studying medicine, nursing, biology etc. The boys are showing great athletic prowess and are likewise off to some fine colleges on full boat athletic and academic scholarships. One of the local boys graduated from the university last year and is off to law school in the fall. He’s a good kid, a smart boy. His girlfriend, btw, is also a Mohammedan but lost the burkha about three years ago when she arrived at college. Something is attracting them...I’ll bet it’s freedom and opportunity.
