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

Not long ago
Irish were not considered white enough
Polish immigrants were a nuisance / not white enough
North Italians didn’t consider south Italians to be Italians etc
In fact throughout history and until recently , Europeans were 24/7 fighting among themselves
so assimilation is a big world coming from a region that couldn’t assimilate with itself for all of history until recently and still not much with Ukraine/russia issue for example and the tides could change any moment. I always tell Europeans you should be more cautious of your neighbors based on history.

So this whole idea that Europe is this one homogeneous loving family can only come from someone who has zero idea about the chaotic history of Europe’s conquests division battles and civil wars.
Also
Not long ago you persecuted Jews and viewed them as a threat throughout history that literally Muslim empires were a safe haven for Jews from European Christian persecution (the irony)
While you feared/traded / respected the Muslim empires
When the scales of power and wealth changed , you found the next victim to bully and quickly rushed to worship the new strong heads.
Or did you think bullying was limited to the corridors of high school ?

Anyways , many non Muslims including Hindus and Christians from poor countries go to work in Muslim lands like Malaysia Indonesia Qatar Dubai Oman Saudi etc
I’m from Saudi Arabia. My country consists of almost 40% immigrants.
My calculus teacher was a Catholic from the Philippines
My regular plumber is a Hindu from India
Some of my sister’s colleagues in the company she works at are non Muslim Americans
A lot of westerners forget ur not the only countries people migrate to for a livelihood.
The main reason people mirage is simply because of money. If they can get a citizenship that’s only a plus . They don’t give two shits about your culture / religion. It’s all money and economy.






As for your question about assimilation,
The non Muslim Europeans didn’t assimilate when they migrated to New Zealand Australia America Palestine Etc

They went and crushed the indigenous communities displaced them and genocided them and forced their culture on these lands and people who were minding their business and didn’t go to Europe.

So it’s big coming from people who never assimilated but want other people to assimilate. Lol

You still don’t assimilate.
Qatar for instance never interfered with foreign affairs but when it outlawed alcohol in the World Cup you Europeans started to criticize Qatar forcing ur values on them
I never saw an Asian or an African outlet criticizing Qatar for that it was only the western outlets because entitled Europeans always think whatever they desire they must get.
The irony tho outlawing alcohol in stadiums is something that some European countries do too .
What happened to respect the laws of the country you go to ? Or it only applies to you !? lol


On a daily basis people with Christian upbringing do terrorists attacks / crime / shootings
But their religion never comes up
In fact there are many Christian majority nations out there with extremely high crime and doing far worse than many Muslim countries
But when a Muslim does something
It’s the shared blame of 2 billion people globally.
The evilizing of Muslims is by design
To support American / Israeli agenda in the Middle East.
This is not a new phenomenon.

This is anti Spain / anti Catholic propaganda by Spain’s European rivals in the 1600s:




And Islam is not foreign to the “west”

The modern name Gibraltar is a derivation of the older name 'Jebel Tarik', meaning Tarik's Mountain.

An area in France called ramutelle comes from the Middle Ages named after Muslims
It means “the mercy of Allah”

Islam was the religion of spain/iberia for almost 1000 years and many locals embraced islam
During Muslim Spain (Andalucía )
It was the most successful European nation at its time.
A jewel when it comes to architecture tolerance and scientific advancement.
European countries like Albania Turkey etc are majority Muslim .

Islam is not any foreign to Europe than Christianity.


As for when it comes to immigration in Islamic law:


During the time of prophet Mohamed , there was huge pagan hatred towards Muslims and Muslims in Mecca used to get killed and tortured
So by the order of prophet Mohammed a small group of Muslims migrated to Ethiopia
After having heard their Christian king is just
They arrived legally and met with the king and asked for permission to stay in Ethiopia
And when the aggression towards Muslims ended back in Mecca, majority of them returned.
So in Islam it’s not allowed to migrate to any land illegally.
Also in Islam we have to keep our promised

17: 34


{. Honour your pledges: you will be questioned about your pledges.}

When a Muslim migrates to any land
They make pledges
Like I’ll abide by the rules I won’t do terrorist acts etc

So if a Muslim breaks his pledge that is actually forbidden in Islam and is a grave sin.
