Huh? Islam is a religion. If a Muslim remains true to his faith, are

saying he doesn't assimilate? How about a Baptist?


Keep in mind this is Fritz. As in one half of the Dumb and Dumberer team,
Fritz and Robbins.

And neither sounds as dumb as you with that statement. Assimilating into
the French culture, does not mean giving up your religion. Lots of Korean's
here in California go to their churches and also do very well as capitalist
shopkeepers. They speak the language, and understand the mores.
