Europe has slowly learned to live with their neighbours and small minorites within borders and for the most part those small minorities respected the law of the land.
But one culture has to be dominant. Because that one writes the secular laws and the rest must follow it. Total assimilation is not really needed for this to work.

I do agree but it seems like the drive has been to make European nations as homogeneous possible.
