Why *shouldn't* they be allowed to integrate. Australia has a sizeable (though still minority) Muslim population and while there may be tensions, I suspect it is no worse than those between black and white Americans.
I'm not sure what the issue with courts is - courts are designed to provide justice given the (non-religious) laws of the land. American doesn't have "Christian" courts now, so why would you have Muslim courts? In any case, I'd expect that both Christians and Muslims could approach their 'clergy' to settle a specific religious dispute.
Burkas and Hijabs - well searches in Airports aside, I can't see how you could ban these, without also banning (for example) Indians from wearing turbans. While we are at it, we could ban youths from wearing baseball caps backwards.
Airports are a different matter - I'd expect a guy in a long overcoat to get the same treatment as a Burka wearer. Once past security, who cares?
I would hope most people are able to see past the media created frenzy of hate and treat Muslims like everybody else.
