I think the problem with some of these European countries is who they are letting in and why, not just that they are Muslims. I don't think they are allowing people in to take jobs they are offered or because they have a labor shortage.
Pretty much. If you took folks from the poorest ghettos of America and shoved them into concentrated areas, you'd likely get the same results. And yes, I've spent time in foreign Muslim ghettos as well as American ghettos. It's part of a lot of different things. You have a wide distribution. Imagine a bell curve. US is a shallow wide bell curve. Most Islamic societies tend to be a more classical bell curve, but skewed right of center.
That means fewer leftists, and more far rightists. Other issue is that way out on the edges on the bell curve, you're less likely to run into other people that are bat excrement crazy of your particular variety. Raise the sample size, and you have problems that are even higher because the bat excrement crazy people meet more people that agree with them rather then tell them they are bat excrement crazy.
One other thing, however. Our extreme ghettos are generally very old and established. Oh, they shrink and they grow. But generally often multigenerational. Sweden's ghettos are very new with very new populations. They're less attached and more likely to spread.
