re: For everyone on this board that believes Muslims haven't assimilated into the US

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American ... There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag ... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language ... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
This is a quote from Theodore Roosevelt in 1907
In this country especially in these strange and difficult times we have room for one flag and one country. We need much more assimilation as it is crucial that our country be one at this time.

I think absolutely complete integration is ridiculous. Even within ethnic groups that people completely accept, you still see traditions and culture brought with them.
If those traditions and culture are compatible with American culture then we can actually benefit by having that (see e.g. Ethnic food and the close family values espoused by many immigrants), but anything that conflicts with America's ideas needs to be left behind (Shariah law)
