"he is speaking of EUROPEAN Muslims"

What are "EUROPEAN Muslims"? Again I say, if he's speaking of Arab Wahabbists in europe, then make that distinction.
I'm sure he's aware there are different muslim sects. Wahabbists (who are a minority sect and who are regarded as a cult by other muslims) do not assimilate and I assume this is to whom he's referring.
But if he doesn't want to sound like he's condemning all muslims (which, I believe, may be a big part of why his article was pulled, then he should choose his words more carefully. ( as with the Bush statement of Pres. Bush doing "nothing", that I referred to previously).

Mr. Auster answered this in his blog.
What the West should do about Western jihadists
Some readers have criticized my article, “The West’s Paralysis over Western Muslims,” because they felt I spoke too broadly about removing “Muslims” per se from the West. In particular, I wrote:
"For the present, it remains inconceivable that we would oppose, let alone kick out a significant number of the Muslims whom we have so foolishly permitted en masse into America. "

Clearly the passage would have been improved had I qualified my terms. I was referring in shorthand to previous writings of mine where I’ve discussed this issue in detail and provided more nuance. Please see my article, “How to Defeat Jihad in America,” in which I spell out a specific set of proposals on what we should so about the jihad-supporting population in our country.
