That was a great share about your family's history of hard work and success. Thanks for the contribution. I think America and Europe have dramatically different concerns when it comes to Muslim immigration. In the United States, it seems like Muslim migration has largely been successful. Or at least it's perceived that way by most citizens. Perhaps it's because they represent a relatively small percentage of the population (1.1%). Maybe it's easier to integrate into the American culture. I don't know for sure, but I'd like to. Here are just a few of the polls cited by Douglas Murray in the Strange Death of Europe. 2006 poll in Britain found that 78% of British Muslims believed the publishers of the Danish cartoons should be prosecuted. 68% of British Muslims thought that anyone who insults Islam should be prosecuted. 19% of British Muslims respected Osama bin Laden and 6% highly respected him. 2009 Gallup survey in Britain found that precisely zero percent of British Muslims interviewed, out of a pool of 500, thought that homosexuality was morally unacceptable. 2010 survey of Germans said that 47% said that Islam doesn't belong in Germany. 2013 British poll of 1000 young Brits found that 27% do not trust Muslims and 44% thought that Muslims do not share the same values as the rest of the population. 2013 poll in the Netherlands found that 77% said that Islam does not enrich their country. After the 2015 Charlie Hebdo massacre, 27% of British Muslims said they had sympathy for the motives of the attackers. 24% believed that violence against people who publish images of Mohammed can be justified. 2016 survey of British Muslims found that 52% thought homosexuality should be illegal. Clearly, there is an enormous difference of world views illustrated in these polls. The book has additional polls but I only have so much time. Murray states that the enormity of Muslim mass immigration and the impact on demographic change (Muslim families have many more children than no-Muslim families). As I stated, liberals are in a quandary. We often champion vulnerable, marginalized groups, but at the same time, we stand for (or we SHOULD stand for) freedom of speech, freedom of expression, gay and women's rights, the rights of young girls to NOT undergo female genital mutilation, etc. My belief is that we don't compromise on universal rights, and we must not shy away from stating this. Conversations about ideas are not off limits, and liberals must push back against those on the extreme left (illiberals) who try to shut down debate by calling the other side racists or Islamophobes.
