Is the U.S. Better at Assimilating Immigrants Than Europe?
Muslims are assimilating more successfully in America because of the fundamental differences between American and European societies and their conception of citizenship.
But on the whole, the Pew Research Center study affirms what history and experience have shown, and help to illuminate an American Muslim community that is moving in the right direction—not just by tolerating American values but by embracing them. For this, we should be grateful, and remember how very different America’s situation is from Europe’s situation.
