How Widespread is this Point of View?

I won't agree that Europe has ever "assimilated" Islam

It has certainly assimilated muslims. Here in Britain we have around 2 million of them, thanks to once having had an empire, and that of course answers the question why the first European suicide bombers were British. Most of them have integrated and the only way I know which of my children's friends are muslim is that they don't eat lunch in Ramadan. A minority of course have not, and when we have our own occasional race riot (most recently between blacks and muslims) it is usually where there is a ghetto of immigrants who have formed their own self-sufficient and insular community.
