Should Muslims integrate into the West?

#8  Islam isn't only one of many religions.

Even the article admits that Islam isn't a religion. To wit:

For mainstream Muslim jurists, Islam is not a culture, a religion, or a tradition, but rather an alternative type of nationality which claims jurisdiction over all aspects of human activities. A Muslim can also be a citizen of a Western nation state, yet the Western nation state is tolerated only because it is bound to dissolve and because its weaknesses may be of use to the Muslim cause.

While this article goes on to modify the above statement, I'll let you guess which view is held by the majority of clerics. That "mainstream Muslim jurists" regard Islam as some sort of "alternative type of nationality" only confirms the notion that it is a political ideology and has little, if anything, to do with religion.

#7  Integrate, no, ASSIMILATE, yes, that is, renounce (most of) their own identity, and adopt the one of their new home, even if it's painful... and even then, not in a sufficient number to change for good the ethnic composition of the host Nation. Of course, those two requirements are years-light apart from what is happening, in fact, that's the absolute reverse, the host Nations are commanded by the dominating ideology to assimilate themselves to the migrants, and their very identity, cultural and ethnic, are changing, for the worst.

#5  Only as if necessary. And then for only as long as necessary.

#4  Islam isn't only one of many religions. It is an imperialist and totalitarian ideology, that was designed to enslave humanity in the name of a non-existant god. It has advanced only by conquest and surrender; every single indulgence of Muslim immigration is piecemeal retreat. When they have the numbers, conquest will be wholesale.

#1  No.

Read the Koran. They integrate if it is a step towards eventual conquering of those societies for Allah.
