There's other examples, but this has all happened before. Just a different group, different vitriol. It's nothing new, really, and neither is the irrational fear and hatred and use of propaganda.
Will Muslims change the country? Probably. But if you look at history, they'll probably have a holiday or two, a few towns will have a festival 90% of us don't understand, and in 100 years, they'll be hating some other group right along with all the "real" Americans. And someone will be looking back at "news" stories from this time and say "People believed that shit?"
Do you know what we had in place back then? A very limited immigration policy so it was easier for them to assimilate. Now it's practically wide open. We have a problem not with groups... We have a problem with amounts. They have no chance for assimilation.
There is zero assimilation in Dearborn Michigan for example.
