I think it Europe it has more to do with poverty and racism than anything else. While in a sense the Muslims in Europe are the Mexicans of the US. Meaning they are the largest group of immigrants that flood into the various countries so they aren't really welcomed.

Here in the US even though it seems like everyone in the Middle East hates our guts, when Muslims come here they have every opportunity to make their own life. They for the most part fit in and really don't cause much problems as a group.

This means they don't have to isolate themselves and stay in their own little groups, so they end up learning to fit in. However looking at Mexicans here in the us, with so many illegals they really aren't welcomed, so they stay in their little groups and never fit in.
