RSSOld news: Country’s as cultural melting pots! The new: Adapt or…

That concept of melting pot seems to be no more! Is the Islamization of America occurring as we speak?
It is happening all around Europe and it may be happening in the United States as well! Whatever happened to the concept of a melting pot?
You know the idea. People from one country would, for a variety of reasons, move to another country to find a "better" way of life? They strive to work hard and adapt. They learn about the culture and, while not losing their personal heritage and traditions, become a part of the framework of their newly adopted home.
This idea seems to be no more!
The cultural assimilation of newly settled citizens of the Muslim faith in much of Europe has been deemed a failure. This is in conjunction with these welcoming countries fighting to preserve their own existing culture that has been in existence for many hundreds of years.
So what exactly is assimilation? It is defined as people of different backgrounds coming to see themselves as part of a larger national family. In other words, while those from another country or culture do not have to completely abandon their traditions, they do need to adapt to those of their adopted country.
As it was defined in the website Creeping Sharia, the opposite is what seems to be occurring. To the outside observer it appears more common for the country or a specific region of a country receiving Muslim immigrants to be the ones bending over backwards to adapt to the immigrants way of life than the other way around.
Beyond the fear of potential retribution for not acquiescing, what are the possible reasons this would occur? When immigrants from Europe hit the shores of America in the early 20th century it was up to them to adapt and not the other way around. No matter what the ACLU tells you should be happening today!
Three roads to Islamization
"... One road to Islamization is to remove non-Islamic traditions and symbols. This is to avoid offending Muslims or expose Muslims to proselytizing by other faiths. It also aims to reduce competition from the country’s original religion and culture in order to improve the possibilities for further Islamization. An example is the Red Cross’ refusal to decorate for Christmas in their stores, or when banks no longer hands out piggy banks to their customers’ kids (because pigs are unclean in Islam) — in both situations in order not to offend Muslims and lose Muslim customers.
Another way Islamization is accomplished is by making Islamic traditions and rules part of non-Islamic societies. Examples are reconstruction of public sports facilities to cater for Muslims’ inhibited views on nudity and contact between the sexes, or the imposition of leave on Islamic holidays.
A third way Islamization achieved happens when certain areas or neighborhoods acquire such a high a proportion of Muslims that the country’s indigenous culture and people are pushed out. One example is when non-Islamic authorities such as police and fire departments meet with disrespect and sometimes even threats and violence, while imams, patrolling police-style Muslim fathers’ groups, homemade Sharia Courts, and Islamic mediation meetings are free to exercise their power. Another example is when Jews can not wear yarmulke or girls can not wear miniskirts in Muslim-dominated areas, because they risk being attacked..." (Creeping Sharia)
