The US has a racist past and there's still more work that needs to be done, but compared to Europe, this country is much more accepting and tolerant of others. In the US, there aren't any Muslim or ethnic slums like you see in say, France, Belgium, and Germany. The same characteristics are underway in Sweden. Leftists often use Europe as a model for what we should do for the US, but they often ignore the racial injustice and segregation across Western Europe. Say whag you wang, but the US is a very fine country. Don't let alarmists convince you otherwise.
The Muslim population percentage in US is around 1%.
The Muslim population percentage in Europe is much higher.
Let the Muslim numbers increase in US and then see the increase in rapes, underage children grooming, thuggery, and terrorism skyrocket. As Muslim population grows, what can happen to a society? | Examiner.com

The US does a better job at integrating. I'm not sure it has anything to do with the percentage.
We're superior at most everything. This included, despite the ongoing fear of a right-wing takeover. This is still a mostly liberal capitalistic country that is an ideal place for most of its inhabitants.

In the US the poorer ethnic neighborhoods are Hispanic or black for the most part(or poorer whites)--and there's plenty of people who get up in arms about both those groups. Muslim immigrants to the US are overwhelmingly educated professionals or business owners(with the exception of groups like Somalian refugees), it's not the poor laborers that flock to European nations from North Africa. Countries like France or Germany or Belgium needed lower wage workers when the economy was growing--as soon as the economy stagnates though much of that group is stuck in lower-class ghettos with little mobility.
Also, unless you're from Latin America, it's very expensive to get to the US.

Hispanics and blacks have relatively high mobility.
"Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Hispanics and blacks have relatively high mobility.
Yet, there's still poorer areas populated mostly by those groups that are the areas middle-class suburban Americans worry about going through or the groups that get the most scorn headed their way(just look at the threads on this forum).
