I’m confident that Moslems will assimilate in a generation or two~I wouldn’t want to burst your enthusiasms but history is not on your side. Your “coloured” is only marginally assimilated..your Amish still goes their own way. Few (original) immigrants assimilated into the native Indian culture. We as a species.. are not genetically programmed to assimilate and instinctively feel threatened by those that are not like us.. be it the colour of your skin..your beliefs.. size.. gender.. financial status…
These achievers are usually examples of the very best, brightest, and necessary of our people.~Not so sure they were brightest.. but the ones responsible for our “growth” were the ones that questioned.. They no longer accepted the words of the priests.. They.. admitted that there were things that were unknown.. and had the courage to wonder why.
The Amish always come up, with some rationale, but there’s Mitt’s magic Mormon underwear and a few dozen other Christian sects with wonderful matching weirdness (dress or rituals), not to mention Popes and cardinals or other Roman Catholic habits.
Iraq was western style till the USA turned into ana extremist incubator. It didn’t happen over night or accidentally. Also our friend the Salafi extremist oil rich Saudi Arabia have been sending off agents of their extremely conservative version of Islam have been doing os for many decades.
As a matter of fact it is disgusting. If they want to wear that crap they can go back where they came from. If they want to move to another country leave that crap behind…period. It…is…just…that…simple!
Look at news stories & photos from Iraq & Iran 50 years ago… very modern, bikinis, burquas were rare. All this modern swaddling is a comparatively recent advent, moving forward by taking a medieval step backwards.
Only in ‘Conservative World’ can we shift values so fast. One day, we label women harlots for showing too much skin and asking to be raped; the next day we are outraged because she covers her body out of modesty. Shame on her; or shame on us?

If there were “Muslimtowns,” they’d be the object of increased suspicion and likely violence.

It’s a moot point anyway, the ban on burkinis has already been lifted

But there should be limits on public wearing of Speedos, as nudity might be less offensive, actually.
