No, that would not be our fault.

Then stop making blanket statements.[/quote]

I didn't make any.

"These folks will assimilate quite easily, at least as long [b]as they don't encounter a solid wall of prejudice, fear, and hatred. [/b]"

Blanket statement - if Syrians don't assimilate, it will be because they have encountered a solid wall of prejudice, fear and hatred, which implies it's directly the fault of Americans, French, etc, not the Syrians themselves.[/quote]

I'm sorry that you have trouble comprehending simple English. "Not assimilate" is not the only alternative to "assimilate quite easily". Do you believe that a solid wall of prejudice, fear, and hatred leads to easy assimilation? Come on. Even you must know better than that.

I don't believe there is a solid wall of prejudice, fear and hatred. That's where we differ.[/quote]

I didn't say there was either. You really do struggle with basic reading, don't you? Find someone to help you understand the concept of "as long as".
