That's not reality. It's as absurd as Racism = Prejudice + Power. You are asserting that it is physically impossible for people to interact with one another.
Even entirely alien people can live next to each other amicably, particularly through trade.
Moreover, you're rejecting that there is differences of behavior within demographics, which is nonsense and would negate the very concept of religious differences.
Behavior is influenced by culture. Think social norms, and moral beliefs. Some cultures clash with one another, people have different ideas about how things should be done. Think about Islamic law. Consider that Islamic law (which defines morals and social norms aka culture) is incompatible with western culture. Women in the West believe they have the right to dress how they like. Those dress standards conflict with Islamic law. Someone who grew up under by Islamic law and thinks everyone should live under it as well, is not going to fit in with Western society, to say the least.
Of course, and that's my point. That culture isn't defined solely, or even primarily by genetics. Not even close. Religion is a social system. Islam is a totalitarian system that effects all aspects of society. Hell, it's basically Muhammad's whole point: to unite all of the bickering arab tribes, clans, and ethnic groups into a single homogenous culture. It worked for nearly a thousand years. Though there was still infighting, and multiple civil wars, most of these came about as the result of the innate authoritarianism of Islam. It's clear that the culture of Islam is the specific issue, not the genetic make-up of people there (excluding inbreeding, and even then, that's not as detrimental to society as Islam's practices).
I'm an Atheist & an American Liberal (as in American Revolutionary Liberalism).
If Arab Christian moves next door to me, I have nothing to worry about.
If an Arab Entrepreneur moves next door to me, I have little to worry about.
If an Arab Communist moves next door to me, I'm going to be a bit nervous, and build a fence to protect my property.
If an Arab Islamist moves next door to me, I need to buy a gun to protect myself, and build a fence.
A racialist or an ethno-centrist just saw the same person repeated 4 times and will not treat them differently. That's intentionally disregarding nuance and individuality in order to support their narrative.
