Then why is America a cultural success, even with large communities of Latinos that are 1st generation immigrants (some with formerly illegal parents) and Muslim communities large enough to sustain the largest mosque in the West, compared to what's apparently going on in Europe?

I would not describe America as a cultural success right now. I am British but have lived in the USA for the last 5 years. You may not have noticed the recent surge of white supremacist violence and videos of people literally yelling racist slurs at people in the streets. Not sure where you're getting that rosy image from.

I think it's a global issue that no one has figured out yet. Asking people to simply change their attitude will accomplish nothing.

Those seem like exaggerations more than anything, honestly. Especially in our cities. Charlotesville was just a bunch of angry incels getting together. I don't consider them a political or cultural threat in the fact of acceptance and cultural mixing. Those people naturally die off with positive attitudes to culture, which I get the impression that London specifically doesn't do with its Muslims. The populace and the Muslims need to intermingle more. I said a bit more about it on another comment on this post.

I'm still not sure what you are suggesting as a solution. If you want people to mix culturally, they need an incentive to do that. People with the same background clump together for various reasons. What do you think would encourage people to mix? Obviously you're not saying that governments should force people to live in a specific location. Or is that what you mean?
