America’s unrivaled prosperity and freedom make it hard for us to understand why everyone doesn’t want to live and think as we do.
Even leftists in the United States who routinely assail our history and institutions share this mindset. Their true ideology might be said to be cognitive dissonance. While they spout Marxist dogma, their very viability hinges on keeping the blessings and fruits of our current system. The difference is their belief that they should be the ones to command and distribute them. The problem, of course, is that they may likely kill the golden egg-laying goose in the process.
With rare exceptions, such as millionaire provocateur Hasan Piker, none of them believe competing cultural models, such as those in China, Iran, or the Arab states, offer a superior way of being. As much as they claim all cultures are equal, their actions and expectations – has any group demanded, and felt entitled to more stuff? – reveal them to be almost caricatures of the Ugly American. And yet, as true progressives, they believe in the superiority of their views and expect, over time, everyone else will see the light.
This is wishful thinking – both nationally and globally. Billions of people around the world have been reared in very different societies, shaped by very different histories. Most of them don’t want our culture, because they like their own. They don’t want to live like us, even when they seek to live among us.
This is becoming a major issue in our era of relatively easy mass migration. Many of the people who have come to our shores are bringing not only their hopes for a better life but also their very different beliefs, values, and assumptions.
Unlike the waves of immigrants before them, these newcomers feel little pressure

Muslims won’t assimilate. Their culture is not compatible with Western Civilization.
Dar al-Islam (Abode of Islam) and Dar al-Harb (Abode of War)
I guess my problem it’s that in order to consider Islam, rancor and vitriol is part of the vocabulary.
For me same as the topic of abortion. I spent time trying to understand that concept. It’s so vile that I’ve concluded the only way a person who would consider killing a baby is with utter disdain.
Here is a related video interview with author Raymond Ibrahim. Long but informative.
When highlighting the truth of Islam becomes "demonizing" the author can be dismissed as an enabler. Imo.
There needs to be an immediate shutdown of muslim entry into America or it will mean civil war eventually.
“ Most of them don’t want our culture, because they like their own. They don’t want to live like us, even when they seek to live among us.”
What is he suggesting?
Is this supposed to be informative?
I wonder why he’s speaking to us, and not to the Muslims who have moved here.
“Muslims won’t assimilate. Their culture is not compatible with Western Civilization.”
Agreed-
Keep em out.
Throw em out.
It is everywhere in the Anglosphere and Western Europe not just here.
Case in point, this “woman” in Australia.
Migrant Lawyer (Nyadol Nyuon) Told Australians On The ABC That Their Culture Does Not Exist

Because America has always underestimated its enemies, and because Democrats like to steal elections using illegal immigrants from any country. RATS compromise national security to obtain and retain political power.
Recent U of Texas football game:
Those are Hindus.
Any intelligent person who has engaged with them knows that what you have stated is absolutely true.
Stop letting them takeover cities and towns make them spread out and then their children will want freedom from islam , grouped up they control
The Muslim situation must not be considered in religious terms. The Muslim situation must be considered in Darwinian terms, as biology, not theology.
In Europe, the native population is weakened.The habitat is thus available for stronger biological species or in the human instance, a stronger variety. The stronger varieties are invading the Euro habitat from the south. There are in fact several different varieties of humans invading from
Africa and the Mid east.
Although it is early in the habitat invasion, the Euro variety Humans clearly seem unable to resist the invading southern varieties and are actually losing habitat. That habitat is concentrated within in the cities but once firmly occupied, cannot be reclaimed
In America, the same biological phenomena is in process but the heavy mixture of Euro subvarieties is seemingly able to resist the attempts to capture sufficient habitat to prevail.
There is a test in Michigan where there is in fact real loss of human habitat to the Islamic variety. That test might be finalized in the current elections
I wonder how any practicing Islamist would answer Rodney King?
Yes, I know. Still, incompatible with Western Civilization - and shows their infiltration in Texas and beyond.
It's a lie. They don't want them assimilated.. They want to keep stirring the pot so we give them more control/power to stop the pain. What we need to do is what Trump is doing: send all illegals back to where they came from - then STOP all legal immigration. After a few years we can start the process of assimilation - if we choose that route. And yes, Muslims can become assimilated and become good neighbors - but radical Muslims need to stay in their own countries and cultures.
