Integration and Assimilation

[Norton360]

Salam everyone

I'm a new member on this forum and i reside in the UK. I was just wondering what all of your thoughts were regarding Integration and Assimilation. In recent times, there has been much talk in the media about social cohesion and Integration within communities. So my question to all you forumers is this:

what does Integration mean?
And what does Assimilation mean?
Is there a difference between Integration and Assimilation?
Is the difference heightened if you reside in the west as opposed to a muslim country?

I look forward to your input.

These are catch phrases used by people to confuse you into thinking your dress makes makes you socially bereft.

Where I have seen immodestly dressed kuffar women interact in a well mannered tone to random niqaabi's while out grcery shopping...

So dont bother with what these catch phrases allude to, as then you are falling victim the their trap.
