Is multiculturalism a bad thing for Europe?

[Minimalist]

I hate to agree with Chad but he's on target. Integration works in the US - tea party shitwits notwithstanding - because the vast majority of immigrants strive to assimilate into the mainstream.

This does not seem to be the case with muslims in Europe. There, it seems as if they want to merely bring their barbaric religion to a cooler climate and expect everyone to bend over backwards for them.
