"The Muslim culture is not easily assimilated into a western society, so this will be a supremely difficult challenge. If we can't figure out how to do it, we're doomed to death, dhimmitude (as we're seeing indications of in Europe), or a lot of innocent blood on our hands."
Ummm... define innocent blood. If you mean killing people whose religion requires our death or slavery, I think I can handle it. Attempting to assimilate Muslim culture into our own has proved a miserable failure in the US, and all across Europe. That's the reason we're deployed in the ME right now. Welcoming their culture to our shores is either inviting or hastening defeat.
Most Muslims don't even know what their religion preaches and are just trying to live their lives regardless of who governs them or who preaches to them on their holy day. These are the innocents. They are basically children of their culture and know no other way.
