Once again, you're not being specific enough.

Adapt in what way?

Do I think we should insist that immigrants adapt to the dominant language?
Yes.

Do I think we should insist they adapt to/abide by existing laws?
Yes.

Do I think we should insist that honor killings are unacceptable?
Yes.

Do I think we should insist that they dress like so-called "Westerners"?
No.

Do I think we should insist that they don't be so darned religious?
No.

In other words, you need to be more specific, not only in how you write but - I suspect - in how you think. You will never progress on this or any other issue until you learn to move beyond this low-resolution, broad-tipped brush approach.
