Abstract/Summary
Out of the many different definitions of integration, what stood out the most was Bryan Rayâ's definition. He stated that "Integration is now understood as a sustained mutual interaction between settlers and the societies that receive them and it is a process that may last for many generations." It was the objective of this paper to discuss topics regarding immigration: to be more specific, Muslim immigration to France and Britain. It is also about multiculturalism versus assimilation policies. A comparison between the effectiveness of both approaches was done. Prevalent issues such as racial and religious discrimination, and integration policies of both countries were discussed. Two of the main reasons for the huge increase in foreign migrants were the need for soldiers for the Great War and the two World Wars and for cheap labor after these wars. Most of them came from Muslim countries. Through research it was discovered that although multiculturalism seemed like the more ideal approach, assimilation produced better results.
