Just wanted to throw in my two cents on the veils-in-schools issue: I think America’s tolerance of them is a sign of its First Amendment, not its tolerance of/ability to assimilate/weakness for Islamism.

When European nations ban the veil, they’re basically letting Muslim immigration do a double whammy: Muslim immigration has problems of its own, and now the government is compounding it by restricting the whole country’s freedom of religion and inflaming ethnic tensions.

There’s a much easier solution that doesn’t involve trampling on the rights of citizens: If you’re not willing to tolerate veils in schools, don’t let in people from countries where kids wear veils in schools. It’s absurd to allow mass immigration from Muslim countries, and then act shocked when the immigrants act like Muslims.
