Don't Ignore Western Europe

WaPo reported Western Europe is a core recruiting ground for Muslim terrorists that is being overlooked given the U.S. focus on Iraq and the Middle East, according to Francis Fukuyama, academic dean of Johns Hopkins University's Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies. The failure of European countries to assimilate their large and growing Muslim populations

Have they failed to assimilate them because they reject them (if so why are they in the country), or is it because their idea of "multiculturalism" encourages them not to assimilate.
in the era of globalization has caused an alienation among the young that has created a "hard core for terrorism," Fukuyama said in Washington at a bipartisan policy forum on terrorism and security, sponsored by the New America Foundation.... The Europeans "need to understand American assimilation" because their approach of "multiculturalism has been a failure," Fukuyama said.
The American "melting pot" is clearly better than multiculturalism
