"Singapore's Lee: 'we can integrate all religions and races except Islam'"
When assimilation works for most, it seems to indicate that unwillingness to make concessions (blend in) is worthy of some criticism.
Isn't there an old saying: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do"?
I think that applies to those who move to a new country...

At AmericanThinker.com, Thomas Lifson passes on some thoughts by Singapore's now-retired prime minister:
"Lee Kuan Yew ranks as one of the most successful statesmen of the 20th century, having led Singapore to independence, and built a thriving prosperous mini-state with a world class economy, out of an ethnically diverse population. He retired as the world's longest serving prime minister, and at 87 years of age, has little to lose in speaking his mind.
Thus, his candor in discussing the assimilation of Muslims is perhaps understandable, but stil startling in a world of political correctness and compulsory sensitivity to Muslims, who are never expected to reciprocate."
