Octavio my friend, you speak with wisdom. think about it carefully for a while and a person comes to a stark realization, the reason why different nations and cultures exist in the first place is because people back in the day wanted to live different from others and drew borders to enforce that concept.

When you are in someone's house for a short time (tourist) the home owner should be gracious to a degree and accept a small level of independence, but if you go to live permanently in some ones house, then you must respect the rules and occupants of your new home and become like them or you could stay where you are coming from.

When an outsider minority enters the territory of a larger majority on a permanent basis and refuses to blend in with the majority, the majority always views the balkanized minority as a threat and elitist which makes them targets of mistrust, fear and resentment and as is very evident with Muslims, they do not prefer the company of non Muslims, why are the Muslims surprised when the are not well liked.
