# Zak Asplin claims Islam and associated cultures cannot assimilate in the US or much of Europe

Zak Asplin portrays Islam and its associated cultures as categorically unable to [assimilate](https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2019/10/08/in-the-u-s-and-western-europe-people-say-they-accept-muslims-but-opinions-are-divided-on-islam/) into the United States or much of Europe. The sweeping claim treats diverse cultures as a single incompatible bloc and offers no supporting evidence in the quoted text.
