Many people around the world are increasingly concerned by the elevating levels of Muslim migration to countries which are traditionally Christian. The main reason for this, unfortunately, is the upsurge in Muslim extremism accompanied by violence such as suicide bombing and car bombs. The attack on the USA on what has become known simply as 9/11 ranks near the top in the annals on infamy. In many, if not most countries, the Muslim immigrants do not assimilate into the broader community, preferring instead to form their own nationalistic enclaves. This does not help the other inhabitants to understand Islam or be more tolerant towards the Muslim people. It has been shown time and again, that first generation young Muslim men, in many instances, gravitate towards a gang culture which only exacerbates the suspicion of all Muslims.
cant speak on Muslims in Europe but in America, at least where I live, Muslims are not different than any other typical everyday person. The ones I have known in my life are just normal people with families who got to work, come home and dont cause anyone any problems at all.
Here, they dont live in "Nationalistic" enclaves. Some live in mixed neighborhoods and some live in places next to other Muslims.
They DO have more things in common with other muslims (naturally) and they like things that they're used to from their own culture, such as the food they eat, etc....(which is good, btw)
Most of the ones I have known personally are normal, decent people who came to America, in part, to get away from the Islamic terrorists in their own countries, whose majority of victims are overwhelmingly fellow Muslims, not westerners.
As for criminal-gang behavior there is only one federally recognized Muslim street gang in the entire U.S. and it's a Kurdish gang, that is located where I live since my city has the largest Kurdish population in America. But most other Muslims here keep separated from Kurds and vice versa due to prejudice toward each other.
Anyway, a typical African American or White American is more inclined to join a street gang or get involved with degenerate criminal behavior than most Muslims are because from what I have seen family honor is VERY important to them and sometimes a Muslim father will disown his son if he is involved with behavior like that, I have seen it first hand, here.
I have seen a Muslim father even threaten to disown his son just for making bad grades in college, here.
Family honor is very ingrained into their culture. And they would be shamed if their close kin were some kind of degenerate criminal.
When is the last time anyone in America ever saw an Arab-American on the street corner selling crack or heard of some Arab-American criminal organization going around robbing banks or some other general criminal behavior?
Doesnt usually happen, not in America anyway.
As for Muslims terrorists, the Muslims I have known in America all have family members who at one time or another have been killed by some terrorist group back in the Middle East in the past.
In my experience, Muslims in America HATE Islamic terrorists.
They usually hate them if for no other reason than the fact their religion is important to them and they see Muslim terrorists as corrupting the Islamic beliefs.
Just a few days ago, Al'Quada made a terrorist attack in Lebanon killing nearly 20 people in a huge explosion and injuring countless others.
They were killed for being Shi'ite, as last month was a holy month in Islam especially for Shi'ite Muslims. That is why many Muslims come to America in the first place, to get away from that shit.
And, in my experience most of them come from middle and upper middle class backgrounds, not some poor immigrant background, with Kurds being a possible exception, at least where I live.
They arent like some other immigrants who come to America, like say from Mexico, who really are creating a larger gang problem and drug problem among other things.
