The USA stepped onto this slippery road when we turned the "Melting Pot" concept into "Multiculturalism". We started forgetting that we are all Americans, and some evil minds introduced us as different groups divided by our skin color, the origin of our ancestors, our ethnic backgrounds, our religion, and our sexual orientation. Etc.

Since then, each small group has started demanding special rights, privileges, and ways to increase their influence not inside their specific group but on the general population.

The most egregious example of that trend is the reaction of the "black/brown" population, which had no problem with the illegal immigration of millions of "black/brown" people from Africa, the Middle East, and Latino countries, and suddenly opposing legal immigration of a few hundred white Africaners from South Africa.

The same trend with the Muslim population - they actively promote Islamization of the countries they came to. They do not want to assimilate into the host country's culture; they want to dominate in forcing gullible Democratic governments to submit to their way of life, like trying to push the introduction of Sharia laws in Christian countries.

Praise goes to President Trump for stopping this invasion. Now we need to get rid of the slime that came to our country, and we need to come back to the melting pot American ideal.

It's beginning to look like when we finally update the immigration law we must prohibit citizenship for anyone who supports, facilitates, or encourages significant changes to our legal system. Freedom of religion does NOT mean one has a right to destroy what was built over 250 years. Western civilization is ours to lose!

We could start by finally adopting English as an official language. Then, we could stop measuring people by race, ethnicity, etc. in our census data. And I could point out that Muslims from moderate countries (Malaysia, Indonesia, Lebanon, Morocco, Senegal, Tunisia) integrate much better than failed states like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Iraq and Libya.

But - and I say this as someone who has lived in Muslim countries and has Muslim friends- Islam is inherently incompatible with the concept of coexistence.Their history is very clear on this up to this day.

My vote is to let them create their own wonderful Sharia state - just not here.

The problem is that they already have quite a few "wonderful Sharia states." But, even in their own Sharia States, they kill anyone who is not exactly of their denomination, Shia vs Suni as an example.

It always seemed to me that the USA is far less racist than Europe. That has always been my experience. We are far more accommodating that they are, and people find it easier to integrate here. So one of the general problems of discrimination (lack of upward mobility) is not as present here and those willing to do the work will succeed (see Nigerians). That doesn't mean we need to tolerate calls to arms, or calls for conquest of our system. Those found to advocate that can be shown the door, or actively discriminated against. In my security clearance procedures of which I have undergone several, they always ask if you are part of an organization bent on the violent takeover our country. If I was, I am pretty sure some _discrimination_ would have occurred, and I would not have received a clearance and would not have got the job.

My Dad was "British (India) Born I was Uganda (Univeristy educated) lived in "Post ( former) British Kenya.befor moving into " the former Colony" British New England" Now "free" for only three hundred years.

If 1000 years old European Nations are being "shaken to their core" , we need to know exactly what the progression is. Small beginnings - can and do grow into a full blown mature "thing" that may be predicted or unexpected.. Education an open discusion and debate by any means is needed to address concerns of this nature. New Harmony in Indiana did not last ..as a model but what you describe seems to be a "growing sucess"
