Look! That is the problem for western Europe cause western countries put their noses everywhere, created large colonial empires and during that created large amount of enemies. Their big empires weren't giving any money back to the colonies and became even more centralist, cause of the most of population from colonies tried and tries to go to the ex centers of power because they have no opportunities in their home countries. They are hardly integrating cause of the regions they came from where colonials didn't invest any real money in local population. Because of the poverty fanaticism grew like crazy.
If the western powers weren't so imperialist and greedy there by my view wouldn't be such a problem of non integrative immigration. But also we could draw a line between people coming from extremist and non-extremist regions,it quite depends from were the people come and what are their cultural, not racial background... For example I do not see a problem German Turks and ex-Yugoslav cause they are quite well integrated and collaborative with the society, heck they built it together with Germans... the problem comes from extremist groups which try to impose their extremist rules to a western society...
I do not have any problems with any immigration until they obey the rules of the country they live in. When they start to impose their rules in my country and create chaos the same moment they should be deported. For example wearing veils in Europe is not a standard and makes identification quite hard. Once in Croatia some Muslim women didn't want to give pictures for their I.D. cards without a veil over their face. What the heck would the use of a such I.D. be...
As for the closeness to Arabs I was not literal, more metaphorical in the ground of sharing common cultural background cause of the Mediteranen. Offcourse it is not implied on all Arabs but mostly on Levantine and African litoral ones. As for the looks it is totally irrelevant but for me there is definitely more similarity between an classical Lebanese and Greek person than between a classical British and Greek person... Don't you think? :-)...
But they are already asking Western Europe to change their laws so they HAVE to allow the immigrants to wear the veils in their countries, so you basically just agreed with me. LOL and that last part you wrote I cannot argue with
