I dont need CNN to confirm that. I see it everyday. But whats your point here? That
all Muslims arent bad? Well no shite.
That doesnt change the associated demographics and profile of a militant islamist? Look, normal muslims have a shitty deal in the US right now. But the fault for that isnt on every suspicious or concerned american. I think you incorrectly assign blame to those reacting, instead of those causing said reaction.

And it what way does this prove assimilation?
It doesn't. Let's reverse the position and say that white evangelicals were moving to a Muslim country specifically for educational purposes. Do we believe that they'll assimilate into their culture because they are getting an education? I don't see why we would.

this article logic, Hispanics should be banned from the US because they are not assimilating.
That, is an excellent point,
and goes to show the difference in a properly controlled immigration policy where you cherry pick the best and brightest from any culture,
to one where you simply have a mass dumping of who knows what.
Unfortunately, the mass dumping is no longer confined to Central America thanks to the refugee policy of Obama.

Based on what I've read, I feel like there is a prevailing thought on this board that Muslims haven't integrated well into American society and I just think there is no basis to that. Fear of American Muslims is completely unwarranted.
I am not assigning blame to anyone. I am trying to spread information.

U.S. Muslims have the second-highest level of education among major religious groups in the country; Jews have the highest. And a greater proportion of them have college degrees than the general U.S. population.
There's no fricking way that Muslims have a higher education level than Buddhists or Atheists or Hindus. Especially if you are including the trash that's been coming the past 10 years under Bush the Retard and the Kenyan.

Do you know oppressed Muslim women in this country?
I went to school with a couple of Muslim and Hindu families. I know there's significant differences in the religions, but they were all doctor's families from the high social class. The kids were pretty assimilated as 2nd generation Americans, but there was a noticeable difference, as expected, in their customs.
They may not consider their customs "oppression", because it's ingrained in their ways. (I'm referring to Muslims not Hindu's btw) It's not exactly the treatment on Muslim women I'm worried about in the US anyways, it's how many US Muslims want sharia law.
I've seen polls in other places, such as Britain and France, that 50%+ of Muslims want sharia indoctrinated where they live.

The neighborhood next to mine in Brooklyn (Bay Ridge) has the highest concentration of Muslims in all of NYC, and the violent crime rate in that zip code in 2014 was the lowest of all zip codes in NYC.
But what do I know? I only have 10 years of life experience living in a city full of the bastards.

You can personally dislike CNN all you want, but the way to refute their "fake news" is with facts and statistics. The effective ad hominem attack in this thread is no better than liberals calling everything they can't refute racist or sexist.

You force women to wear burkas, hijabs, jibjabs, and flibbertygibbittydo dabs.
That's oppressive

I moved to America when I was 2. My mom worked a little when I was very young, and then went to full time house wife when my dad found more stable work. He didn't want her to work and wanted her to take care of my sister and me. This was definitely the product of different customs.
Fast forward to today and my parents have pushed both of us to becoming fully educated and independent.
Just curious as to what you considered "oppression" from what you saw from these families?

Muslims are an extremely small minority right now. The ones that come here are generally wealthy and have marketable skills,
ALL Muslims are dirty ignorant vile terrorists that want to chop off our heads and eat our livers.
Try to keep up with board meme, will ya?

Do you know what percentage of Muslim women in this country wear burkas? What percentage wear them by choice?
Neither do I. Stop spitting out garbage.

I think that keeping the overall Muslim population about 1% could work. I work with older educated Muslims and have no issues.
But you plug in a mass of them at 10-15% or more with a sizable chunk of young males and I guarantee you will have problems.
