If you think assimilation into your adopted culture means being 'led away from Islam', then get out. Don't presume to come into my house then dictate how I choose to live.

THAT says it all. Well done.

I agree, of course. But, the militant minded ones (who scorn those who have assimiliated, a smaller number) know that already. They want to 'help' us and lead us away from our culture to the 'truth' of Islam and it's peace. They decry our multiculturalism and non-Islam religions. They think it's their mission to convert or conquer us. Even if it's through our own systems, i.e. elected positions, legal positions, etc. And there doesn't appear to be much mercy for those who can't or won't be converted. Just ask the people of Sudan or East Timor or the Phillipines or Afghanistan - oh, I could go on.
