lol, why don't Europeans just ban/restrict Muslim immigration instead of dicking around with spires and articles of clothing?

Well, what the frick are you guys supposed to expect? When you have a religion such as Islam manifest itself as negatively as it does, of course you're going to see ensuing backlash from the West. Sikhism and Hinduism aren't culturally European either, yet nobody (important) advocates banning turbans and dotheads. It's extremely silly that they're banning perceived symbols of Islam, as if that's going to secularize Muslim immigrants. Minarets and Burkas aren't the things that are blowing up buses and trains.

The solution is to focus on assimilating immigrants rather than multiculturalism, which has utterly failed in the UK, imo.

I dunno man, you guys seem to really dig the Chicken Tikka Masala.
