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. 

Also another thought. All listed nations are essentially countries of migrants (aside of UK, but even in that case Muslim minority over here are still migrants), that makes the whole assimilation process quite easier for obvious reasons (well, after eliminating the problem of aborigens, of course).

Here's ulimate test, how about western culture and Muslim culture that are both indigenous to any given territory they share and therefore could claim the land as their own?

As I said, you just don't get along. Empirically proved.
