Donald Trump wrong that 'there's no real assimilation' by U.S. Muslims
PolitiFact ^ | June 18, 2016 | Louis Jacobson

Posted on 06/18/2016 12:25:03 PM PDT by EveningStar

After the mass shooting in Orlando by a man who pledged allegiance to the Islamic terrorist group ISIS, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump reiterated his call for a temporary ban on Muslims coming to the United States ...

Trump [to Sean Hannity], "Assimilation has been very hard. It's almost -- I won't say nonexistent, but it gets to be pretty close. And I'm talking about second and third generation. They come -- they don't -- for some reason, there's no real assimilation." ...

We concluded that the implication of what Trump said -- that Muslims want to isolate themselves from the mainstream American culture -- is flat wrong. However, we also learned that the question involves some important nuance. In particular, the task of "assimilation" facing post-1960s immigrants to America is more complicated than, and thus distinct from, what it was for white, Christian, European immigrants who came to the United States in prior generations ...

the Pew Research Center conducted telephone interviews with 1,033 Muslims in the United States, in English, Arabic, Farsi and Urdu.

The researchers concluded that "Muslim Americans appear to be highly assimilated into American society."

Then how come you had to interview people in Arabic, Farsi and Urdu?

It’s one way assimilation.....the Muslims want us all converted or dead.

In all of the groups I have ever been a part of, whether sports related, school related and what have you, muslims ALWAYS kept to their own groups defined by their religion. I have NEVER seen them try to assimilate.

Live in the same area “Pew” and see for yourself rather than poll those with a self-interest to say “assimilation”

It ain’t happenin’ so keep on spreading the false narrative

A “win-win” for both

Okay, Now, author, since you made this conclusion, please show how you arrived at it. Please show the research you did,showing that the vast majority of Muslims think just like us, and fit very well into western society. My personal observations, and indeed 1500 years of history, demonstrate otherwise. Frankly, I believe that if we continue to buy into this political correctness, we are all going to be dead or slaves. Wake-up, author, they hate us, including you; they call us the Great Satan.

"Muslims again and again told us that America is the best place in the world to be a Muslim," Ahmed said. "There are countless examples of Muslims who are assimilated and are completely American in every sense." He said that out of the roughly 2,000 personal interviews that comprised in his fieldwork, virtually all Muslims said that Muslims could be American.

"So it is dangerous, irresponsible and incorrect for Trump to make statements like this and demonize the entire community," Ahmed said.

We've read your book Achmed! You know the one that says it is OK to lie to infidels! Your belief in your religious law is proof that you can never assimilate into American society. You will go to Hell and we are fools if we allow you to take us along for the ride.

Trump is very right. Probably the least good assimilated group in the country.

some people of any group manage to assimilate

we do NOT want Moslems here, they are (a very large number of them) extremely dangerous... they’ve been taught from the cradle to hate Christians and Jews...and to want to attack maim and subjugate or murder us all

SEND THEM HOME TO THE OTHER 56 innocent nations they’ve already conquored by this exact Moslem “mass immigration” war strategy

It’s hard to consider them assimilated when they have a religious obigation to kill us.
