Why are Muslims more well integrated in the US than in Europe?

That's an interesting question. The same goes for Indians. In the US they do better than the majority.

I think Indians are more to themselves in the UK compared to the States

Because the U.S. is separated from the Muslim world by an entire ocean and can be a lot more selective with the migrants it takes in, basically limiting it to college educated and high skilled workers. Meanwhile any dude fleeing war in his country can make it to Europe if he’s dedicated enough, let alone all of the refugees they’ve brought in legally.

My parents are from Pakistan. I recently met some British Pakistanis for the first time while traveling and was surprised by how different the diaspora is there. This British Pakistani girl said she wouldn’t have talked to me if I was British

Because Muslims that can afford to take a plane to the U.S tend to be more educated so more open to other ideas ,
while those in Europe just walk there.

edit: This happens with every immigrant group by the way, For example....Venezuelans in DR have a good rep compared to Venezuelans in the rest of Latin America ...same with Haitians. The educated ones left Haiti during the Duvalier era to the U.S while the ones that be immigrating to DR tend to be of low education/skills .

The US wasn't always open to Muslims. Look at the history of the Nation of Islam in this country. (Talking about Elijah Muhammad, not Farrakhan.)

Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam were the ones who went through all of the trials and turbulence and made it okay to be a Muslim in America.

Then folks from the east started moving here and capitalizing on the goodwill that the Nation of Islam built for decades, and what's worse, they didn't even give credit to the Nation for the sacrifices that they made.

Migration history and patterns. There is a hub of MENAs in Michigan, and sub enclaves around the country. They helped to integrate subsequent waves of people from those countries and cultures here. Muslims and Christians.

The success of those in Dearborn area might not have a counterpart story in the countries of Europe that they've migrated to.

I believe that Houston might be that hub for Muslims of Nigerian background.

Muslims in America are cool, even the devoutly religious ones.

I never met a Nigerian Muslim in the US funny enough

Because they are barely 1% in the USA and most of the children leave the religion in the USA

The share of Americans who leave Islam is offset by those who become Muslim

They get too much leeway in Europe. Allowed to take over entire neighborhoods and areas while enforcing their shytty controlling ways

In grad school I knew a few Europeans (Belgian) who said that the middle eastern men would spit at them if they ended up near their areas

It's OK to identify and have strong ties to your culture/religion but when you move to a different country you've gotta assimilate somewhat


Also lol at only refugees being allowed into Europe vs here. A lot of those Iranians were refugees who got money from the gov and rebranded themselves as "persian" in the states.

Isn't there a similar exodus of younger jews leaving the different branches of judaism.?
Have definitely read about those who leave the Orthodox sects.

Americans in general seem to be getting more secular each generation.

Watch Ramy on Hulu. Has some great insights on this

Because USA is a cult. Funnily enough US Muslims are largely derided in the wider diaspora. They become whitewashed spiritually.

Clearly have never been to Europe

We get the gutter trash
