Among religious people, why is it that Muslims have the hardest time assimilating to western society?

"Christians" are getting increasingly incompatible and hostile towards western society too, as we speak. Look at red America.

So long as we treat religious extremism with silk gloves it isn't going to get any better.
@Elessar Athiests out right don't fit in with their drug culture and overdoses leading to a early death. Especially in the summer when the morgues overflow and the bodies have to be kept outside in trailers. Most religious groups do way better than them in fitting in.

@Elessar Not really. I've travelled to both Asia, and Eastern and Central Europe. And generally the people there hold all the same, if not even more strict, conservative views as the christians in America. In reality. it's that the American left are getting more and more insane whilst pretending they are the completely normal side.

@Aami1 Absolutely, I've picked red America only ad the most evident example out there, never said they're the only one. Even because, had it been the case, one could argue that it's an American problem and not a Christian problem.

@Elessar It's a leftist problem.
@Elessar there is a strong correlation in being in a substance abuse program and being religious, it's usually the religious who run it. I'm life long sober and a member of the Prohibition Party. It's mostly christians cleaning up the act, or trying these groups like AA to get help. Those most expected to die are the atheists who have no suport groups to get out of drugs. They have very little in values, nobody is encouraging them to clean up their act. They just die, you read about them in the newspaper dying a undisclosed death at a very early age, but everyone knows it was drugs.

Athiests fit in very poorly to western civilization. Their values do not align, they get into the drug cultures with less friction and fall prey to it easily.

@Aami1 Too bad that the "Christians" I mention are all far-right
@Elessar I don't know any far right christians.
Aami1 · 26-30, F
@Elessar I dont care what you view as "far right". By American left standards, everything is far right

@Dignaga Dude I don't care to even read past 'Prohibition Party", go campaign for your insignificant political party elsewhere.

There's no sound/scientific statistic whatsoever that correlates atheism with substance abuse.
@Elessar Because the cause of death is never listed in news papers silly.

@Dignaga No, because it has no correlation whatsoever. As I stated, the great majority of people I know with problems of substance abuse are practicing Christians.

@Aami1 GOP, PiS, League, AfD, Lega, RN, Russia United.. shall I go on?
Aami1 · 26-30, F
@Elessar Feel free to go on. As you demonstrate, a lot of people in Europe and the US alone are against the tyrannical left.
@Elessar I don't recognize any of those groups in the US except GOP, and athiests too are in the GOP, it's a political party, not a religion.

Atheists are hardest hit by the drug crisis. They are maladapted for western civilization. Maybe someday they will grow a ethical backbone and start efforts to sace themselves like religious groups make a effort. I've seen christians, muslims, and hare khrishnans do drug outreach programs with AA and NA affiliation. Nothing for Athiests. They get left out to die. Nobody is looking out for them.

@Elessar It is indeed hot, here in Slovakia.
