LONDON – Joblessness and poverty are a more potent source of tension between Muslims and wider European and U.S. society than religious differences, one of the first major studies of Muslim integration since the Sept. 11 terror attacks claimed on Thursday.

Attacks by Islamic extremists on the United States, and European capitals like Madrid and London, have sparked debate about whether a failure of Muslims to integrate into Western society has fueled extremism and created divisions between communities.

But a study of around 10,000 people in 27 countries by the Gallup polling company claims non-Muslims — including the public and lawmakers — have misunderstood the attitudes of Muslims in the West, stifling attempts to promote better understanding.

Hard to integrate when they refuse to integrate.

give me a freakin break with that old saw

[Frantzie]

Global caliphate, take over the west etc etc. Islam creates nothing. It steals and enslaves.

Typical study where the “objective findings” just so happen to mirror the world view of those initiating the study.

Dalia Mogahed, executive director of the Gallup Center for Muslim Studies and a faith adviser to U.S. President Barack Obama, said the surveys exposed as myths many ideas about the relationship between Muslims and the rest of society.

Yeah, right. I am going to take everything this one says as gospel. More propaganda from Islam to conceal the truth.

“..failure of Muslims to integrate into Western society..”

There is the answer staring Western society squarely in the face. Study is complete and should be terminated—no reason to continue wasting further money on it.

Islam creates poverty. Or Islam guarantees that you will never break out of poverty.

No Islamic society is prosperous UNLESS they are sitting on top of a sea of oil.

It’s the ‘non-Muslim’ stiflers fault yaknow.

If the camel jockeys would spend less time and energy trying to kill "nonbelievers, Jews, and their own women, and channel that energy into something constructive, they might not be some of the poorest folks on the planet. However, I don't think they have the native intelligence to figure it out.

LOL! Haven’t we been through this before? What about the Jooos that cause all the bad things to happen in the Muslim world? They left that out.

This is such TOTAL BULLSQUIT!

The Muslims INTENTIONALLY are targeting the socialist European states for demographic invasion because of their social programs

BECAUSE

they won’t have to work there, and can just plot and procreate (what was it, 8.1 children per family, average?).
