"Muslims are permanently in Europe. The goal, in brief, must be to adopt policies that will help them fit in."

"Fit in", not stand out.

I can imagine how you must feel; I read your e-mail is from France - the 751 "Zones Urbaines Sensibles" - but this is precisely the point. Adopting policies to "help" Muslims "fit in" obviously would not include "No-Go Zones", and the like, as they do not help Muslims fit in, but stand apart.

I agree with you 100% that the more we placate Muslims, the more they insist on special accomidation, and eventually Shar'ia. Do "moderate" Mulsims exist? I'm "on the fence" about that one - it seems to me the circumstance determines this - the more the number of Muslims, the more likely the so-called "moderates" seem to capitulate to the Islamists. So were they truly "moderate" in the first place?
