A people whose religion commands them to convert or kill Infidels will always have trouble assimiliating.

That's true. But even people whose religion doesn't require them to kill Infidels are sometimes hostile to assimilation. I remember reading a piece by an American rabbi a couple of years who called intermarriage the new "holocaust." Even Jews who are not religious (my wife, for example) sometimes regard assimilation has a terrible tragedy. I asked my wife a couple of years ago what was so awful about assimilating into the great American ethnic torando. I pointed out that although I was a mixture of English, Irish, Italian and Swiss I was perfectly content to be called an American. She said she "pitied" me.
