I think that fundamentalist Muslims are overly expansionist. I heard recently that some Muslims were protesting Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany, because it "offends" them. I think people who are so entitled and easily offended ought not immigrate to more liberal Western countries. Additionally one of the biggest problems in more liberal Western nations, the United States included, is that they are not more prohibitive in whom they allow in their countries!
I'm a big fan of the very old saying, "when in Rome do as the Romans do". Immigrants ought to be willing to assimilate to the culture of the country they settle in rather than seeking to destroy the culture, and replace it with their own.
Angela Merkel and Barack Obama are two of the worst world leaders there are today, because they're destroying their nations.
My take on this:
Lets start with clarifying things first.. There are 1.7 billion people (out of a total of approx. 7 billion) who call themselves "muslim".
In order to answer your question objectively, you have to answer these questions first
1. Which muslims would you mean? Arabs/Arabized/Persians/Asian/Southeast Asian/Turkish/Russian/European...? If you're surprised of all these ethnicities, you mustn't assume that a muslim population within them does not exist, as a matter of fact, this did not just happen because of immigration and political asylums. It is all part of history.
2. Are you economically/politically ready to banish all people within that 1.7 billion figure from the west? (Including: doctors, scientists, professors, businessmen, investors, etc.)
If so, where would you put them? Take them back to their countries you might say, well, then some of "our" countries would have to withdraw from their countries in return.
3. Now answer this, where are "their" countries, and "our" countries? We would need a whole new map for this.
Let me state my opinion.. now that we know the difference between a muslim and some group of people you might not really be in favour of, I can confidently deduce from your logic that if muslims were too conservative for the west, then so is the Pope.
All in all, don't stress your mind with these unanswerable questions, just believe that everyone is responsible for their own actions... In the end, religion is a lifestyle, it is not a characteristic.
