A better way for America to integrate Muslims

If you look at how Christianity gradually moved away from monomania, and accepted modern ways (and science and logic), you can see how Muslims can also be integrated into the mainstream. If you go to a prosperous Jewish house, you may find a book or two on Upanishads, a Buddha's statue, etc., next to a book on mathematics and science! Once the average Muslim woman is educated and integrated into the mainstream, militant Islam will be a thing of the past.

Islam is not going to be the most difficult issue for humanity in future. Pseudo-secularism (a fanatic religion) and "extremely brilliant fukular jihadists" in India will be a HUGE problem for the world. Their policies will translate into poor quality education, inappropriate hiring, poor quality manufacturing, chit-fund scams, road accidents, building collapses, societal unrest, CORRUPTION, etc. I don't think the world can deal with such fukular terrorism by 1/5th of humanity.

He and his family, after all, were part of the same Chechen migration to the United States and are well-adjusted, law-abiding and thoroughly American."

The United States can learn from European efforts to integrate Muslims. Historically, assimilation has worked better in the United States, but European countries are dealing with a much more complex, larger problem. Their Muslim populations are much greater 5 percent of the population in Germany and 7.5 percent in France, compared with 0.8 percent in the United States, according to Pew calculations and the immigrants often come from places close by and can easily maintain ties to their birth countries.

The lesson from Europe appears to be: Embrace Muslim communities. That’s a conclusion U.S. law enforcement agencies would confirm. The better the relationship with local Muslim groups, the more likely they are to provide useful information about potential jihadis.

An attack apparently inspired but also perhaps directed by al-Qaeda was foiled recently in Canada for just this reason. An imam in Toronto noticed one of his congregants behaving strangely and reported the behavior to the police, who followed up and arrested the man before he could execute his plan.

I am all for it.

ONE of the imams in Toronto reported ? what about the rest of the crowd ? It is also true that only one of the imams in every city calls the shots when it comes to the Ummah-terror. How come no Imam reports any other imams to the police ? do ALL the imams are pure and thoroughbred?

What a bunch of bull. He should stick to plagiarising.

I think India can serve as a model country for the world with integrating Muslims into the fabric of society. There is something special about India, always remained a Hindu majority country in spite of centuries of Muslim/Christian rulers while the surrounding regions (Pakistan to Samarkand) succumbed to Islam.

Saamiyaar, take a deep breath...

1.. 2..... 3.......

It's OKAY for Imam to report of suspicious activities, It's a GOOD thing you know.

99% of muslims are like Ruslan Tsarni, Zakaria, you, me and your neighbor, are not influenced by extremist jihadi views..

That's what Zakaria was trying to convey.

you feel better now?

i think i prefer the american model of secularism to india's. equal indifference (at least legally) to all religions is better than an active embrace and cultivation. i understand for historical reasons that is not possible in india, but my personal preference is the american model. the indian model results in silly things like the haj subsidy.
