Mr. Orlet doesn't see how a government can "require" assimilation. Perhaps he should ask the government agencies that are placing foot washing stations in public lavatories, schools, and airports. If he has the time, he could check out the universities and colleges that are catering to Muslim students and their organizations. Maybe he could check out the multitudinous lawsuits filed by discriminated against Muslims. He could enroll in some Muslim courses at many local high schools and colleges across the country.

Yes, Mr. Orlet, perhaps you are right and governments cannot stop their countries from being "Islamized" both culturally and religiously, however, it is becoming more apparent day by day that those same governments that cannot compel assimilation by the Muslims are having very little difficulty compelling the absorption of the indigenous by those incoming immigrants. I would think that by enforcement of existing laws, adherence to existing traditions and practices, and continued English language and American History requirements in schools we could at the very least promote assimilation of these culture hijackers. If we were to do these things, and others that would make assimilation much more attractive and, perhaps, even necessary, isn't it possible that some of the problems in our cities would diminish?
