I have been to US, seen in New York whole muslim areas...it is stupid statement you make, it is Islamics who do not assimulate...otherwise loose control of next generation

it is Islamics who do not assimulate...

There are millions of these non assimulated in Europe.

Are the 5 to 6 million Muslims in France or the huge number of Turks in Germany allowed to become citizens of their countries, I don't think so. Citizenship in these countries means a whole lot. Unable to enjoy the full benefits of the countries they live in only brews resentment in the long run. If you dissagree I'm sorry.

I was not referring to people merely living in the same area, for example a New York neighborhood.

By the way if Mr. Putin is so great(and I didn't say he wasn't) for you WHY has he found it necessary to eliminate all pretense of a free press. Without a free press you have no real freedom because you will only know what the government wants you to know. The western media makes me crazy at times but they are the basis of holding leaders accountable.

By the way, you joined FR on my birthday April 18, a great day in history(my history.)Humor

Sorry but peoples born in Germany, England, France citizens, yet they still not assimulate. Algerians in France many 3rd generation already.

Free press, you mean, like fact that government owns only 1 of 4 major networks, which it took in bankruptcy and is now in negotiation with Murdoch for sale? Sorry but BBC is all government owned. Also what, 10 news papers out of hundreds owned by government? US/EU socialist press much more untruthful and special interest controlled.

As for accountability, much more criticism of Putin in one week then in 3 months of Bush in US television. And consider that under Clinton absolutely no criticism...

Well, happy late birthday.
