Integration is the ultimate

My opinion is that the integration of muslims in the European society is inevitable, partly because the world is getting closer and smaller, with ease of communication and travel, muslims live in European cities while Europeans live in muslim cities. such as in south east Asia Islamic countries or the gulf states of the Arabian Gulf. The fear of Islamic influence on the European society holds discrimination against muslims, because Europeans long lived in Muslims society without the Muslims fearing from them.

Dialogue in the civilized way and should be the norm. what we see today in the west is pure racism and descrimination against Islam and Muslim with unreasonable intolerance towards the habits of the Muslims such as their humble, reserved dresses that resembles the Nuns' dresses , in fact I don't know if I can say out of hatred. Islam should not be a threat to anyone, because it is a pure religion. It has pure values and Ideals Europeans should learn from, such as the call of England Cardinal to resort to Islamic laws in disputes, because it is just laws.

There will be conflict now and then, but ultimately integration and synthisis between the two cultures will dissolve and blend in one, Europeans will take values from Islam, while Muslims will take values from Europeans, not only in religionwise , but also in day to day habits.
