It's just a belief though, they can change their minds.

There's a syrian refugee family a street over from us. The dad got here and is now atheist and has found out he LOVES beer (like, he's dove headfirst into craft stuff it's crazy) and the mom and kids go to a baptist church.

We need to find out why some of these guys integrate like they've been waiting to do it all their lives, and others absolutely refuse to. We're paying for all this electronic surveillance, what the gently caress are we using it for??

Why would it?

let me get this straight... you're pro-genocide?

His point is that if your argument is that ethnic cleansing, genocide and all the like are bad because Nazis and "it doesnt work" and that's all you got then you're some kind of intellectual and moral cripple and how are you so bad at debating to the point where people who agree with the moral statement "genocide is bad" want to tell you that your wrong because your arguments are so superficial and incorrect

Some of the people who left loved their society and it was only a question of survival. Why would that person ever embrace the host culture, especially if they are the conservative sort?

Maybe Aziz should try doing things our way now that he's here, our shops only turn in to craters if they're next to a poorly regulated fertilizer production facility

Hell, I'd settle for just knowing why some people integrate and some don't. If you want to use that information to build a profile so you can selectively target agreeable candidates for immigration, fine, but I'd rather use it to try and nudge the conservative holdouts in the correct direction. Figuring that poo poo out would save a lot more people in the long run.

At least in the US, after a generation of two, foreigners from pretty much anywhere in the world integrate.

I think a huge part of why the USA is mostly shielded from this stuff is because of geography. We have Canada to the north, Mexico to the south and oceans on the sides. Huge swathes of people from the middle east can cross into Europe, but an illiterate sheep herder can't afford to buy a plane ticket to North America. So those who do come here know that we aren't too fond of people who molest little kids or spontaneously explode in crowded areas.

People from wealthier, higher-class families tend to have more western social views. People who grew up with unskilled laborer fathers and illiterate housewife mothers in a foreign country where education is free tend to become educated, but seeing as they grow up talking only to people of similar backgrounds, fat cocksuckers who think the pakis stole their alcoholic dad's job, or white people with dreadlocks who call them fascinating, they may become angry and alienated.

personal motivations and the factors KomodoWagon mentioned, i guess. some people simply don't have any, or at most very little, motivation to integrate and i believe this is true for any immigrant in any country and not just muslims. why they might not have any motivation to integrate might be because integration takes effort and they're lazy, or because it's easier and more familiar to stay within your ethnic group, or because they're there only to work, or they don't agree with the values of the indigenous people, or they're just passing through the country but for some reason or another got stuck there, etc., or a combination of these factors

Anyway point being there are still millions of natives in the US. If that how your fantasy of getting rid of all the Muslims supposed to look?

We did a lot of terrible sit to the native americans but complete genocidal extermination of every man woman and child wasn't really ever the goal so yea its not really surprising at all that there are millions of them. After Smallpox mostly we just moved em' around (forcibly or not) and eventually started intermarrying (something I know you look down on).
