I wouldn't judge a whole race of people based on expierences with 4 individuals.

You can say the same thing about the way people generalize a man with a beard and a turban walking down the street, minding his own bees wax, and people stare at him because they believe he may be strapped with some TNT around his waste or because he may be a member of Al-Queda.
There's a rule of thumb when it comes to all groups/races/creeds of people: some are good and some are bad. I have never had a bad experience with Muslims. They are some of the kindest, most generous people I have ever came in contact with. I can't say I know how the Muslims in the Middle East are because I've never been there, but the ones in the United States, and I assume Canada, are for the most part decent citizens.

The point of my post was to showhat Lincoln posted was ignorant.
If somebody came out saying I've met 6 people from germany, and they were all nice, so that means every german is nice. I'd post up the same shit.
Generalization = Bad.

I didn't say that at all, you completely ignored the point of my post I guess.
Why can Muslim/Arab immigrants assimilate great into Canada, but not into the US?
Melting pot vs. Cultural Mosaic I guess.

Who's claiming Muslims can't assimilate into the United States?

I hear of clashes between Muslims and non-Muslims in the US all the time, wanting to attack each other and whatnot. Of course some can assimilate, I just feel that their isn't tension up here between everyone.
