Simple answer-—> Immigration and cell phones, and if I had to chose one, it would be the latter. I teach in an upper middle class school. This year’s freshman class is so painfully inept and cell phone addicted it’s become just about impossible to teach them. Students retain nothing, want everything spoonfed to them, and are not curious about the world. It’s quite sad, really. Interesting side note, the ones that don’t fall into the mold above actually read books in their spare minutes in between classes and are not on the phones.

Great points. The most important point is the delusion these muslim immigrants will or could even maintain the social systems of Germany, ect... I think they will be surprised how many will even be employed, let alone gainfully so. Muslims earning minimum wage are likely to pay little or nothing into the system. I think Muslims in America have a better chance. They have good support systems in place, and generally are more educated and willing to assimilate than their European cousins.
