The United States should do the same... Americanize legal immigrants already here and close the doors to all new people from that section of the world... We're not going to get a second and third chance to get this one right.
I had something of an epiphany this afternoon: The USA has not handled integration very well, and we have been working on that little problem since the end of the War of Northern Aggression!
How can we assimilate people who don’t even speak our language, have our traditions or mores, believe in the Rule of Law, refuse to speak English, etc. etc.?
Assimilating Moslems into the American culture is several orders of magnitude harder than assimilating blacks, IMHO, and will test us to the max.
Other dissimilar groups have, with time, become assimilated into our culture because they wanted to become Americans. I have not seen a strong desire by Moslems to do that; they prefer to bring their culture to the USA and not assimilate; IOW they want to practice their Tribal ways in a bubble of whatever Islamic culture they belong to.
Somehow, someway, we have to cause them to WANT to be Anericans first, and Moslems second. I have no idea how to do that.
