Likewise, Why aren't white Europeans who would have been successful and rich in America/Australia/New Zealand/Canada moving over there instead of staying and griping in Europe? Re: In my lifetime I have seen 6 waves of immigrants. Italians, Poles, Ukrainians, Indians, Pakistanis, Orientals, Jamaicans, and Muslims. The Muslims are the first group who are not adapting to the culture. Now Jamaicans have had problems, partly because of the difference in the culture, but nothing like the problems some Muslims are having. Quite an inaccurate and captious statement of yours... Blacks always have had, and still have, severe difficulties to fit in with white societies/constituencies. In the US, for instance, there are currently more black males aged 15-25 in jail than there are in school/college.... As for Pakistanis and other Orientals, just look at their predicament in the UK after the London bombings.... There's really nothing peculiar about Muslims' difficulties to be recognized/welcomed by Europe's white majority. Granted, Muslim women want to be allowed to wear a headscarf... just like Sikh men are allowed to wear theirs! Actually, the only difference between Muslim immigrants and other, non-Muslim ones lies in the Middle East, outside the European context --namely, Israel. It's because Zionists and Judeofascists have been at war with Israel's Muslim neighbors ever since the Balfour scheme that Muslim immigrants have been singled out as a "fifth column", as potential terrorists bent on destroying not only Israel but the West as a whole....
