Mike Adams fills in some of the background here: http://townhall.com/columnists/MikeSAdams/2009/02/16/ask_god_what_your_grade_is (NOTE: Occasionally indecent advertisements.)

To paraphrase Orwell, everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but some are more entitled than others.

We must stop Muslim schools from teaching that integration is a sin. Why? We don't stop Amish from that.

Now if by that you mean you must stop them from teaching that Moslems have a different law, that is arguable.

One problem is that on those occasions in which a large number of Moslems have lived under Europeans, they generally have followed their own customs. But in those occasions(India, Eastern Russia, the British and French Mandates, etc), Europeans were frankly ruling as conquerors and there was no need for inordinate indulgence. Where Europeans lived under a Moslem regime, the same applied. Europeans and Moslems being fellow citizens of one another is unprecedented.

Another problem is that European states traditionally depended more on ethnicity for social cohesion whereas America is essentially a classic commercial state writ large.

Not to mention nationalism - individual European states have it, but I don't think the EU has it as a whole yet. Of course America still has it.
