Those countries doesn't strike me like they 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)

Again, I think the English speaking countries are the only good examples. Maybe Singapore? (Have no idea how much population demographic they have).

15% as of 2010, it's easy to check. Not very good example either, it's relatively small and also not really western. Plus I don't think that US are such a good example with these recent tensions between whites and black minorities (not really recent, but they become relevant from time to time), at least that's how public opinion goes. I personally think that opinion doesn't represent facts, but you can't beat opinion with real-world facts if that opinion is shared by so many people, thus that opinion becomes very much part of the real-world, and a problem.
That aside, I think there's no contemporary example of western culture of substantial size (say, tens of millions) that successfully assimilated Muslim minority (say, 5-10% and up), successfully by their own standards (say, a poll that shows that relations are at least tolerable if not perfectly good).
So here you go, guys, you just don't get along together.
