"Third, terrorism is an immigration problem. Terrorists are spawned when educated, successful Muslims still have trouble sinking roots into their adopted homelands. Countries that do not encourage assimilation are not only causing themselves trouble, but endangering others around the world as well."

He's certainly right about it being an immigration problem. However, those British Jihadis seem to have been about as assimilated as one can be. Assimilation happens in the heart, it would seem, so I'm not sure the failure to assimilate is the big problem.

The Amish are not "assimilated" the Ultra-orthodox Jews are not "assimilated" but they aren't running around killing people either.
