>I don't think any European country has a solution (at least 'acceptable' solution) to assimilate Muslim immigrants. Very bluntly, IMHO assimilation is not possible, only integration with society becoming multi-cultural. It doesn't help that worldwide media suppresses news coverage of the problems Muslim immigrants bring. Over the past week there has been a series of Muslim riots in Sweden against a Dane's threat (not actually carried out, as I understand) to burn a Quran. When I heard about the rioting, I searched for news coverage on YouTube. Here are the first two I found: * France 24: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ey0XIy2rXBk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ey0XIy2rXBk> * BBC <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C00R1gjsT6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C00R1gjsT6A> Pay attention to both what is said and is not said. What would someone who has watched the videos, and knows nothing else, conclude regarding who is rioting, and what are they upset about? I then found * Global News <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRtv33CLSOc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRtv33CLSOc> * The Telegraph <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-k5qLi1MAM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-k5qLi1MAM> which also obfuscate. NBC News <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=325v8PPbWe0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=325v8PPbWe0> was the first outlet that I found that actually attributed the rioting to Muslims. (All three sources use the same/similar footage from a press agency.) At the same time, /r/worldnews had two posts on Islamic countries' condemnations of the Swedish government not banning Quran burnings. Such were the only mention of the riots; absolutely nothing on the riots themselves. Four days later, nothing has changed, except one article ... blaming the riots on Russia. <https://www.reddit.com/search/?q=subreddit%3Aworldnews+riot&t=week https://www.reddit.com/search/?q=subreddit%3Aworldnews+riot&...>

> It doesn't help that worldwide media suppresses news coverage of the problems Muslim immigrants bring. Because when you report on minorities causing troubles, you need to be extremely careful. Parts of what you say will be quoted out of context, repeated by people you want nothing to do with and used against the people who have nothing to do with what happened. I don't blame journalists and news agencies they think twice before doing it. But I do agree they should do it instead of burying the head in the sand and forcing the reader to read between the lines.

Well I can only say that this observation on how the mainstream media likes to suppress news like this only tells you that you need to be skeptical on what is shown by them and look at other sources beyond the mainstream media.
