Come to think of it, are there contemporary cultures that you might call western that are more or less successfully assimilated Muslim minority? Or maybe otherwise, Muslim culture assimilating western minority?

I would say in general, the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia have done the best job at assimilating. (The problem is, it is starting to be reversed because of the war on terror & Iraq war aftershocks.) 

France actually is one of the more divided at assimilation. 

Those countries doesn't have substantial Muslim minorities (% of Muslims in population):

US (0,6% as of 2008)
Canada (3,2% as of 2011)
Australia (2,2% as of 2011)
UK (4,4% as of 2011)

Let's start from 5% and up, or maybe 10% and up? For comparison:

France (7-9% as of 2015)
Germany (5,4% as of 2009)

Maybe there's some threshold above which Muslims become a problem for the locals? Is it 5%, or 10%?
