I found this article and just wanted to get some opinions, please.


The faithful emerging from an Amsterdam mosque after prayers gather on the pavement, grumbling about Dutch healthcare costs.

The scene is described by Jean Tillie, professor of political science at the University of Amsterdam, to illustrate how European Muslims engage in politics: they are overwhelmingly concerned with domestic bread-and-butter issues.

The politics of the EU’s 16m Muslims is a much-discussed topic. Some commentators, particularly in the US, portray these followers of Islam as a unified bloc, pushing European nations towards radical policies.

Better them than us. They must have the radical followers of Islam because our Muslim community isn't anything like theirs.

I thinki that is because that Muslims in this country have been able to assimilate into the society easier than they have in other countries.

Maybe they are facing more discrimination there. Whatever it is I hope it stays on the other side of the ocean.

I think you hit the nail on the thumb--In the US they seem to be more peacxeful because that are more accepted. But the prob, IMO, is that it is becoming more of a discrimination issue in the Us and that could lead to more homegrown trouble.
