You can make them speak your language and observe your national holidays but denying them the ability to hold their cultural beliefs, which as discussed above have started to merge with the historical culture of the countries, is wrong and rather hypocritical. You cannot want these people to come but ask them to leave their baggage at home.
They are not forcing local women to wear burqas are they? They are simply bringing their culture with them.

No issue...except as I stated on the first post of this page...there is no requirement in the Qur'an for women to wear Burqa's. So are they expressing their religion or that of a despotic cleric?
