Watch from 2 minutes to 2 55 if this is good or bad thats up to person
Too much trash but other than that I don't think its that bad. But what I think doesn't matter, if the neighboring communities don't like it then they should have a say on whether or not it remains and how it should be run. I think its fine for immigrant communities to keep their culture and identity but that shouldn't come at the expense of identifying with the dominant host culture and it shouldn't come at the cost of social cohesion. If you want to keep your culture and identity then one should do so in a way that is agreeable to the host society, not in a way that inconveniences it.
Some people are going to hate Muslims either way and find them and their communities to be an eye sore but I don't think most Europeans are like that, I think for the most part if the Muslims did a better job of trying to meet their host societies in the middle most Europeans would have little to no issue with them. They may even like some of these enclaves if the Muslims really put effort into being good neighbors but that doesn't seem to be the case.
