The Australian PM disagrees with that point of view.

France <10%

Australia - 1.7%

Islam is hardly a threat to either of these democracies.

Their numbers are factually inconsequential.

They don't assimilate and create a very vociferous and potentially powerful ethnic enclave.

And yet look at how much things have changed there...makes you wonder what having 10% of the population being Muslim would be like..

I imagine entire areas of cities would be off limits to 'infidels',that rapes by Muslim men simply because of the religion of the victims,that sort of thing...

Ohh,hang on.

Except when they do assimilate and instead become ordinary Americans.

I have little patience with such silly arguments because my own ancestors, Italian immigrants, were accused of exactly the same thing.

If our country is incapable of surviving small groups of "vociferous" citizens, then Islam is the least of the challenges facing us.

I have traveled to the UK regularly on business for more than 20 years. I have not witnessed the change of which you speak.

He disagrees that the Muslims not accepting the Australian values and traditions won't cause problems in the future.
