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

They don't. Muslim-Americans are more western than Evangelical-Americans, because they live in cities, where people tend to be more progressive. Material conditions matter more than religion.

@BohemianBabe Dearborn? They settle into ethnic enclaves , same as every other group .
@AthrillatheHunt Sure, because most of them are immigrants and don't speak English that well. It's the same with every immigrant group. Germans, Italians, the Irish, Greeks, they all did that. But Muslims who grow up in America are more American than most Evangelicals.
