When their 2% of the population they want to assimilate, they want you to accept them, they don't want attention unless it's positive, they just want to be normal.

When they're 10% of the population a vocal minority of them will use it to define their personality, because they're so empty and hollow they have nothing else.

Because american muslims are relatively rich.

First of all, it's difficult to get permission to stay and live in america as a muslim. You don't take hordes of uneducated refugees straight from the middle east.

It would be more common for you to take businessmen and people from more successful areas where they are more educated than average.

It's because of 9/11. Since that day, everything changed for Muslims in America. They started reporting their terrorist cells instead of hiding them, gradually they got on our good side and we gave them degrees and higher income rates. They knew that their radicalism wasn't going to survive here, because America is not a socialist country where you can have 3-4 terrorist leaders living in state-funded housing a couple blocks from each other like Molenbeek.

I still distrust them greatly regardless of their so-called good acts. They are slowly taking over major businesses here in the Chicago suburbs, a section of Bridgeview is even called Little Palestine (like on a map, not as a joke). Soon a major terrorist event will happen and they'll renounce it like they always do while biding their time for the eventual islamification of the whole country.

America has a meltingpot culture where basically everyone is expected to drop a good portion of their old culture and adopt an american one, and usually, once they have done just that all other people just view them as "normal" for the most part and don't really bother them.

In europe this is not the case. You can integrate all you want, but it ain't gonna change that you're brown and hated for it.

So then for quite a few it becomes a why bother situation.

In addition American Muslims are mostly upper and middle class, and better educated than your run of the mill retarded goat herder or sand farmer.

If you survive white upper middle class public school you will have heard all the insults, and it makes you stronger and you conform and you will develop a sense of humor or you will perish.

Most people survive the hazing ritual, though some better than others.

I did a constitution class and there were plenty of of asians, indians and a few muslims (of varying degrees of seriousness) They were all cool, except for Nihat, who wasn't nearly as funny as he thought he was, was unpleasant look at, and was a creepy overly sex-crazed horn dog. He wasn't a very serious muslim though.

Anyway, point being America is awesome and the melting pot works for most people but really at this point we should just stop ALL immigration, it's hard enough as it is for they people who are already here. There is no reason to allow immigrants, there's enough ppl in this country now

It costs money to move to the US, meaning you're going to get the more educated ones.

For example, Nigerians in the united states can always be seen with a bluetooth and nice clothing. They apparently believe bluetooths make them look successful. Those sterotypes will never be encountered in europe because you don't get the wealthier people.

That's not it.

You forget that we're Americans too.
>>
Several reasons.

-They are less of the population percentage wise than most European countries, and the US is huge geographically so populations tend to be more spread out. This prevents the problem seen in European countries where you have Muslim dominated ghettos that provide a breeding ground for radicalism.

-The US is separated from Eurasia by huge oceans, so it's considerably more difficult to get to North America than it is to reach Europe. This means the Muslims that do manage to come here are generally wealthier, educated, and overall tend to be more well off than those who walk into Europe with nothing but the shirt on their backs. All of this means that American Muslims tend to belong to parts of society that make less susceptible to extremism.

-One of the cornerstones of US history is taking in groups of immigrants and melding them into honorary Americans. The US has considerably more experience at doing this than most European countries which remained largely homogeneous until relatively recently. The idea of the "melting pot", that you can mix and match aspects of cultures as you see fit, remains alive and well even today. Contrast this again with European countries, where their societies' ideas of being "European" often means immigrants have to completely discard their former cultures.

If you want to be extra cynical, you could also say:

-Fear. Since 9/11, many US Muslims are probably deathly afraid of the rest of the population turning on them, and so put in an extra amount of effort to not stand out or seem foreign or threatening.

to be honest man i kind of empathize with the muslim women. it must be hard on them you know, their guys being that crazy and systematically marginalizing women and they threaten them with religion and violence if they dont obey. it's not like the asians or black girls who can hope they can land a white guy and live happily ever after somewhere. the muslim girls are so afraid of being disowned by their families or being honor killed, they can;t even date men or even considering the other race is not even an option their parents would murder them. it's lkike their family is a social and systematic structure to have them tied down to this weird and oppressive way of hijab wearing and zealotry. they kind of laugh about it like this girl here, but in the end of the day, come on. they must be so uncomfortable.

Because the US is the one country in the world that can assimilate immigrants.

Muslims in the US have the highest education rate of any religious group, second only to jews, and commit crime at a lower rate than most ethnic groups.

Meanwhile in Europe they are destroying the continent in under a generation, absolute rapefest.

>>70605271

Its quite easy.

> 1.
There are so few of them they cant live in their "islamic surroundings", which they can in Europe where some cities are 20-40 % muslim.

> 2.
And most importantly, Europe gets the low educated shits who seek welfare and ways to abuse their hosts. In the US its not really possible to live on welfare, not in the same way as one can do in Europe. So those who are ambitious and educated go to the US, we get the scrubs.

> 3.
America together with Israel is the big enemy in the muslim world, so if a muslim goes to the US to live there you can be sure he's probably pretty positive towards western culture and not a fanatic muslim.

They say our immigrant muslims flee from extreme islamic oppression and that they just want to be free, the reality is more often that they just come here for money and safety from bullets - and many of them retain retarded muslim cultural values.

The only ethnic group we have that I can think of that actually fled islamic oppression are the Persians. They are the only ones who are noticeably more secular and better educated than other middle easterners in our country - and thats because we got the persian academic middle class who didnt like the Ayatollah shit after the revolution.

Just like in every decently sized country it's hard to say that everyone acts as X.

There are muslims who have grown up in America and have learned to grow a backbone and not take things personal such as when someone wishes them a Merry Christmas or such.

And then of course on the other end of the spectrum there are those muslims who wish to force their religion on everyone and they are regarded in the same way that christian zealots are.

And of course there are some people who think it's trendy to blow themselves to shit because some person in the middle of assfuck nowhere said so.

I would tend to agree but I didn't want it to come off as if I was saying "America is special" more than I already was.

When it comes to integrating into American society it really comes down to what you can contribute to it IMO. Even something as simple as having a type of food that our corporations can run with and market until it becomes the next big thing can be enough.

When it comes to Muslims people might hate seeing headscareves or something but say you use an American flag as a headscarf and suddenly it becomes "USAUSA#1 Honorary American :DDDD". Silly, but it works so w/e.

Neither do they tolerate that kinda of stuff, the vast majority are either business owners, in medical and so on, you will rarely find any muslims living in ghettos and fucking up the area.

Imo its not about islam, we have lots of christian arabs here as well and they are more or less the same shite - aggressive, painfully macho, violent, corrupt.

We have a city thats 40-50 % christian arab and they have had heavy issues with crime, gangs, shootings, murders. Just recently there were headline stories about how their assyrian orthodox church has been scamming the state for money.

And also how regular people have been scamming the state (or the municipality) for money by one of them pretending to be a retard = the family members get paid money for that individuals care because vegetables need 24/7 care.

I honestly believe its their culture to some extent, but I also believe they are a bit less intelligent and have a bit more testosterone (on average), regardless of religion.

The more I think about it the more I find that this really is the defining issue. Anyone can be American if they try hard enough, or so they are told. But it isn't the same for Europe. Even if they behave and integrate well, it won't change that they weren't born there and their appearance still marks them as a foreigner, therefore they can't ever be truly European.

Barring our recent efforts to take refugees, we actually have a pretty solid barrier-to-entry from that part of the world. Immigrants from the middle east and North Africa are real economic migrants (no free shit, you can't cobble together a raft and cross the atlantic) and they must pass some sort of background check.

If you want a non meme explanation. European Muslims are generally the result of Salafist Saudis spreading their mosques and ideology in Europe. European mosques are generally run by a radical branch of salafists that teach isolationism and contempt of non-salafists, they're generally more radical than the muslim preachers in the Middle East. So they're making slums in Europe but not in the USA or Australia.

Muslims generally integrated into the USA fairly well. They're actually better educated (more ambitious) than the average American. And these stats include the incredibly high conversion into Islam in the prison population (20% of the prison population is now muslim)

They kind of already do cherry pick what they teach. Muhammad was a pacifist before he was exiled from Mecca so they focus on this part of his life. Jihad is interpreted by most muslim sects (particularly the older ones) as a struggle against your inner evil. Muhammad wrote the more violent verses later on in his life during his war with the polytheists and most Islamic sects disregard these verses as having a context and time and are irrelevant today.

The younger sects like Wahhabi/Salafist and Talib generally include all the more violent and political verses. You'll find a lot of Salafist muslims in UK and Belgium and some other European countries

Yes, it's indeed an incredibly high rate, because it is in fact not true. Blacks convert to Nation of Islam, which is not Islam. Not better by any measure, but let's not pretend classical Islam has any appeal close to making 20% of inmates Muslim.

A religion that has very little to do with Islam.

Nation of Islam believes that white people was created by Yakub (the biblical Jacob) which contradicts muslim belief.

Nation of Islam has "temples", Islam has mosques.

Nation of Islam has "ministers", Islam has imams.

Nation of Islam sit on benches like in a church, muslims sit on the floor. There is no benches in the mosque except maybe chairs for the old who can not stand in prayer.

Nation of Islam pray like christians on their knees, muslims pray with the face to the ground.

Nation of Islam and Islam is about as similar to eachother as Voodoo and the Catolic Church.

The same goes for Islam in Europe though, it's more of a native brand that has little connection to Islam in the Middle East even if they share some common values. But their preachers are generally domestic grown and didn't come from an authority in the Middle East. The only connection is that Saudis funded the construction of their mosques.

Nation of Islam is still Islam, it's just an American brand of it. It's very common in Islam to have a brand that is mixed with native culture. Sufi Islam is the most common for this.

Unfortunately it's not so easy: Saudis do finance the training of preachers so the west has quite a number of those fanatics, certainly more than it would be healthy.

as for NoI being Islam, well, I would agree somewhat because belief in a single god and asserting the importance of the Quran wrt said god is what I call Islam. But scholars of classic Islamic branches say a Muslim is someone who keeps the five pillars, and NoI certainly does not kerp all of them, only three daily prayers, no Ramadan fast, Hajj is optional etc.

The looming threat of genocide. You'll find that people are a lot less willing to share their retarded opinions when you let them know you won't be bothered to take their shit.

For instance, I'm a cop. I'm friendly with my fellow cops and we like to have lunch together, but outside of work I don't really kick it with them so I don't know them too well. Politics comes up, and a fellow spic cop says that Trump supporters need to be shot at his rallies. I told him I was a Trump supporter, and if he'd like we could reenact the scene with Han and Greedo in the beginning of Star Wars Episode 4 and work out who plays who on the fly. He shut the fuck up.

I spent the rest of lunch explaining why mass third world immigration was going to be one of the most pressing issues of the 21st century, and why we might not necessarily have to send his US citizen family back, but we have to keep his 4th cousins the fuck out.

muslims in europe used to be based.

Citizens with a good work ethic, conservative values and a happy outlook on life. It went from worse to shit to hell over 3 generations as the numbers increased and the lack of national identity led them to embrace radical islam.

The more there are, the more ghettos develop and the more the faith becomes accepted (see public resistance to muslim idiosyncrasies from the 90's to now), the more 'faithful' read: radical your population will become.

The same faith will await the US. You will see

Because they havent reached a saturation point where they can be allah ackbars yet. Plus they are cunts. Go to any muslim heavy city in the US and they will harass street preachers and women who wear slutty outfits. It's not a EU unique thing. It's just that the US doesn't have them in every area in a significant amount yet.

People in the US don't seem to believe that telling Muslims not to practice their dark-age shariah law is the same as turning the US into Nazi Germany

Just fucking kill them all, other "muslims" are not even going to blink. They are scum of the earth and a real scourge that needs to be removed.

What are you even talking about?

They all are. I am enjoying this current state, finally Balkans will deserve what is coming to it and rest of the Europe will be dragged down the drain. We will be the spark again. It is our destiny.

Yes I do. Then I look at what regions of the world are shitholes, and what their religions are. Funny how that works like that.

I don't have acid attacks in my shit hole of a country.
