Stop just "saying stuff that is" and start thinking about the reasons!

I have been watching the forum debate with interest.

The simplistic answer to why they don't want to integrate is because they want to retain their beliefs and way of life, but take advantage of the better standard of living that the UK offers them. Best of both worlds to their minds

The people of the UK have always been welcoming to immigrants. So, I do not accept any suggestion that we don't welcome people from other cultures, it's just not true.

Enoch Powell was a hateful man, he was viewed with scorn for the views he held all those years ago. I know, I was around at the time. I also know that he was persistent in his hate, and he used the tried and tested method of debate by taking something that had the smallest grain of truth in it, twisting it, taking it out of context, to fit his agenda. Its a standard trick, that I see many on this forum using over and over again day in, day out.

I am more right leaning politically than anything, but that doesn't mean that everything Corbyn comes out with is wrong, it doesn't mean that everything May says is correct. Take one look at this forum and you would think that there are few more detestable people on the planet Across the 2 main parties 99% of them have good intentions, well meant, they just have different views on how things should be approached. These are highly complex issues, the reality of which is that there isn't a 1 solution fits all scenario

And this is apparently different in other countries that migrant Muslims move to, where they are better integrated, because _________________ .

This is a question I've now asked 4 or 5 times and there's only been one vague attempt by anyone to answer it.
