The biggest challenge of Muslim assimilation into French culture is discrimination and bias. I think that because it is hard for the people to do anything just because of their religion. If they are not allowed to have a certain job because of their religion how are they going to live? They also are not allowed to be educated in some places, which is very unfair because those people may have not gotten the best education in the past years they were in the Middle East. Especially now, you need an education to get pretty much any job and people are holding them back from that. The discrimination and biasness is so bad that the people will not allow the people who practice Muslim do their own cultural practices. This is very serious because some people believe in their cultural practices very seriously and this could cause a major conflict. Another reason why this is the biggest challenge for Muslims is because people treat them differently because of their skin color. According to the news article Europe: Integrating Islam it says that because the people are non white this results into impeding integration and ongoing racial harmony. This affects many peoples lives in Europe and it is sad to hear that many people suffer.
