   Well, I haven't seen any Muslims in Texas carrying anti-American banners and calling for death to the infidel.
These same questions and issues arose here in the states in the 1950's and 1960's when African Americans wanted civil rights and equal treatment. The average white person was horrified at black people marching en masse and expected the apocalypse. I guess they are still waiting. The truth is, if you discriminate, humiliate, and denigrate any group of people enough they will rise up in protest. 
Most experts agree that within a few decades caucasions will be the minority in the USA. Perhaps there are the same statistics in Europe? I guess with this as a future, we should be learning to get along better with everyone and accepting different ways and cultures. Otherwise it will be us on the fringe feeling disinfrancised and protesting for our rights.
