On that note, this is well worth reading:
Bassam Tibi: Euro-Islam Doesn’t Have a Chance

Very interesting essay from a man who moved to Germany from Syria in 1962. Summary: assimilation of these refugees is impossible. The comments at the source, which is The Gates of Vienna blog, are quite interesting. They remind me of FR of old, in their depth.
I would tend to agree....although there are the Christian refugees from Syria and Iraq, who have shown up. Much lesser numbers. On the assimilation scale of one to ten...within six months...I’d give most of them a seven or more for trying awful hard.
Someone (not a liberal but just a smart researcher) ought to sit down and examine various nationalities who’ve moved to a new country, and assign a assimilation index. It probably would tell an enormous story over failed integration and why certain countries are the wrong choice for some people.
I tend to see Germany as the absolute wrong choice for any Muslim...out of 185 countries in the world....it probably would be near the top of places not to attempt a move into. Liberal society, women in power, high atheist rate, sex on display twenty-four hours a day, and very little respect for backward behavior.
Your link was the best summary of the conflict that I’ve seen. The fact that it was written by a Muslim from the true Golden age of Islam (the brief age of secularism) adds a veracity rarely seen today. Great find!
