The End of Europe’s Tolerance?

Excellent article. However, the author's tone seems to suggest that what is happening, should not happen, or is some how wrong or foolish.

I think its exactly what needs to happen in Europe and in the US. Immigration SHOULD be the melting pot model, where a person melts into the country he/she is immigrating to. They have a small effect on the whole pot, but the pot has a LARGE effect on them. The "When in Rome" idea of immigrating . Other models like the "salad" model they taught at a NASA multicultural class where people retain their individual culture and just physically "mix" together just doesn't work. The different parts of the salad start fighting and there is no common culture anymore. This is what happened in with the Islamic riots in France last year.
