What Makes American Muslims so Unique?

I thought this was an interesting article. I'd say it also applies to both US and Canada:

interesting article, most American muslims i have met have been pretty openminded, decent people, and get along fairly well with other cultures/religions.

Very nice article. It highlights some very important factors about the North American Muslims. Reps when I can.

Yup.

yeah, Its all about immigration policies and which types of people are targeted by it. Thats what makes north american muslims much better off, more integrated, better educated and have better socio-economic status than Europe.

Europe, on the other hand, mostly imports the lowest, uneducated trash of certain islamic societies, mainly from maghreb and south-asia, through unplanned "assylum", throw them in isolated ghettos, then bitch about them being unintegrated and negativly generalize all decent islamic communities everywhere over their own f*ck up.

I've been echoing the sentiments of that article ever since I started reading about all the crap that is happening with the POS Muslims that dominate the flow into Europe.
I've met many Muslims in America and they don't come off any differently than any other group, except for being a little bit more traditional with some of their views. They are like most people- polite and willing to listen.

I dont understand when people say this, do they expect immigrants on welfare to be put in upper class neighbourhoods where the hypocritical liberals dont want them there.

Another contributing factor is possibly that the USA is a country of immigrants and is generally far more accepting of immigrants of all types. Europe is historically anti-immigrant, especially when it comes to "darkies" and non-Christians. Assimilation into European society is thus made more difficult, while in the USA it's encouraged, accepted, and expected.

USA refugees,illegals,etc. come from Mexico, latin,etc.

most the muslims immigrants enter US as legal skilled migrants. but i suppose you have the nation islam,etc. as a problem but we are not talking about them.


Europe refugees,illegals,etc. come from North Africa,Mideast , balkans and eastern europe. There skilled immigrants come from nowhere IMO. very few skilled people would go to europe IMO. just be like eg. Italians going to UK , intra-Europe.

...which is causing a 'brain drain' on their countries of origin.
