That's the 'politically correct' phrasing of the question.
                           ---
The raw, actual issue is why 5.2 million native Danes
haven't successfully induced 200,000 Muslim immigrants
to give up their culture.
                          ---
Seriously. Stare at that for a moment and you'll 'get' what
the unstated problematics of the situation concern.

Name one North American Indian tribe that responded
to such a dilemma by creating a Minister of Integration
in order to extend spiritual and social assistance to its
immigrant whites ;-)

^^^^^^^

CB: I apologizing for being so dense. I can't quite get what you say. Are
you saying that the Danes have been nice by trying integrate them ? Or that
the Danes have not welcomed them and that's why they haven't integrated ?
Sorry for not being able to catch the subtlety.

I think there were some indigenous groups that were friendly and helpful to
the first Europeans here.

Is this Hugh from Thaxis ? If so, good to hear from you !
