Then Sedayne, gets angry at the slightest hint of the fact that there has been acts of terrorism recently

Could you please clarify this statement, WAV? Otherwise - terrorism isn't an issue of ethnicity or immigration, surely? We're dealing with human individuals here, criminals for sure, but not racial stereotypes however the media choose to present it.

As for assimilation; this will happen to a greater or lesser extent over however many hundreds of years, or even generations, but it is not the inevitable outcome of a multi-cultural / racial society, nor yet even desirous. Who is assimilated by whom? Personally, I dig the diversity.
