Firstly, Islam is not a "religion", and I do wish folks would stop referring to it as one. Referring to it as such clouds judgements when coming to terms with how it must be handled. Neither is Islam a "race" - people of any race may convert to Islam, and are often presented with the choice to do so, or die. Islam is a complete social-economic-political-reliious-cultural system. It sees itself as a "perfect" replacement for everything else, everywhere.
Secondly, and in large part because of the above, Muslims are not "criminals". The acts they do are not "criminal" in their own eyes, they are perfectly legal under the shari'a, and therefore not "criminal" acts. Muslims in those cases are just doing what Muslims do. One would not see a lion killing a gazelle as a "criminal" act - it's just a lion being a lion.Criminal act done by Muslims are only "criminal" in the eyes of it's victims. It's perfectly normal, natural, and "legal" according to Muslims. It's just a Muslim being Islamic.
Third, no "crime" can be eliminated by changing social norms. Crime is only eliminated by changing criminal codes - making formerly criminal acts no longer criminal is the only way to eliminate crime.
What we see in Europe, and in America, is a short sighted social and economic policy that pits culture against culture and promotes cultural wars. It does not promote acculturation of "immigrants" into the mother culture. Instead it promotes culture wars by allowing unfettered importation of entire "other" cultures into the home country, which is a recipe for disaster. For integration to work, the incoming culture must be imported in numbers small enough to force integration. Importing them en-masse only imports a new gang to oppose the old, already entrenched gang, guaranteeing culture clash and conflict as the new gang sees their own numbers as something to fall back on during the wars.
They are not only importing enough new people to be an invasion force, they are importing enough foreign people to act as their own support group in the wars that are sure to follow.
Muslims are simply one of the more problematic examples of replacement importation. They are a warlike people being imported into countries which no longer have their own warlike peoples, and as a result history shows that once the Islamic population of any one country rises above about 10%, cultural war for dominance follows. It can go no other way, since the importing host countries no longer possess their own home-grown cadre of fighters to oppose the takeovers. The imported populations see and sense that, and realize their own victory is assured in the absence of meaningful opposition.
That situation can be referred to as "Sweden"... or "France"... or "London"... or "America" - at least until the new conquerors see fit to bestow new names on those ancient places, like they did to Spain by renaming it "Andalusia" once the conquest was completed. My guess is that the Muslims will lose out in America to greater numbers of Hispanics being imported, and one day the United States will be renamed to "North Mexico", or more probably "Mexico del Norte". It's possible they will rename it "La Florida" - Hispanic conquistadors have had eyes on North America since the days Spaniards were massacring French Huguenots who were themselves trying to settle in Florida and South Carolina, before even the founding of Spanish St. Augustine.
These wars of conquest never stop. Only the players change over time, as new conquerors see new lands they want for their own, which they inevitably turn into the same shit-holes they came from... which then necessitates that they move on to the next conquest. Wash, rinse, repeat. It's been going on forever - we just happen to have a front row seat to view it from in this round.
