John Hinderaker:
When we think about the last 200 years of immigration into the United States, the goal was, virtually always, assimilation. Come to America, adopt American values and customs, become an American. The fact that many Muslims have rejected this assimilationist tradition in favor of a weird sort of separatism—integrated only, it seems, into the political world, as allies of the far Left—poses perhaps the greatest challenge that America faces today.
The failure of huge numbers of Muslims to assimilate is manifested in everything from terrorist attacks to countless billions of dollars in theft from government programs to ridiculous levels of welfare consumption. The problem is real, and everything that El-Sayed did as an academic was calculated to make the problem worse, and America weaker.
