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

You are asking it wrong. If I see water, I have abundance here, I can drink it freely. If I look at a leaf, I know it has life. There are more Muslims in this world than Western citizens, but often they are in countries lacking resources and less developed. So why Western culture has not assimilated them when there is more Muslim, why we need to see them as different? The whole idea of different ethnicity, creed, is poppycock when you speak from a rich nation.
@SW-User the western nations are the only nations that celebrate diversity . Lots of Muslims want to live in the west . How many westerners want to live in a Muslim nation ? That’s the true litmus test.and some of the gulf states are the richest nations on earth .
@AthrillatheHunt they don’t want to live in the west because it’s the west 🤣 Many Muslims come from poor countries so they go to rich countries for work opportunities They have zero interest in ur culture / religion There are many many Christian poor countries whom their people migrate for work opportunities too Many even go to Muslim countries to work .
This is why Muslims living in rich countries like Saudi Arabia Qatar etc They live far better than most of Europeans They don’t go to ur countries as refugees or immigrants Only as international students or for tourism They don’t want to settle there jusy visit
it’s all about money and economy .
Also the gulf states are overwhelmed by immigrants including from the west But just as gulf ppl don’t settle in the west The west doesn’t settle in gulf because neither needs it lol

@AthrillatheHunt A certain kind of diversity? The West is very guilty of needing those who enter to assimilate. I've met more Muslims who speak of their life with value and kindly who have emigrated here than those "native" (who are not native) who speak of Muslims here derogatorily. *Ask any Indigenous person how they've been treated*
There are many Hindus and Christians etc who work in Muslim lands not just in the gulf but beyond.
Also I’m still waiting for you to answer my point and I’ll repeat :
they don’t want to live in the west because it’s the west 🤣 Many Muslims come from poor countries so they go to rich countries for work opportunities They have zero interest in ur culture / religion.
just as gulf people don’t settle in the west The west doesn’t settle in gulf because neither needs it lol It’s all about economy
Absolute lies🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Majority of Muslim countries welcome Hindus and Christians and many of them work in those countries and make a livelihood. There are plenty in Malaysia and many Muslim lands not just the gulf.
As I said which you keep ignoring , People (Catholics Christians Muslims Hindus etc ) globally migrate abroad for work opportunities because they come from poor countries Not because of your culture. That is a simple fact.
This is why the gulf doesn’t settle in the west And the west doesn’t settle in the gulf . Neither sides need it .
@AthrillatheHunt I do agree it is not about religion There are a lot of social factors into play Also When I debate religion , I go into theological debate using scripture I am not an ignorant person who says look at c group or y country or b person. That is always a cherry picking argument that never ends.
But you were playing that dirty game with Islam so i decided to join.
@Moon3624 way more social factors at play in those countries than religion. I don’t fault you for not saying the commonality . However Islam isn’t just a religion , it’s a culture . No same person would voluntarily live in their culture unless it was for a very short period of time and the money was very good .
