Indeed, the Germans and some other northern European countries found to their consternation that certain ethno-religious groups, such as the Syrians, don't exactly make a good fit in a liberal western society. Of course they tried mightily to pretend that there weren't problems with accepting huge numbers of mostly young men from a completely different culture into their back yards. Hasn't ended well, has it? And it's about time the West grew a backbone and said 'no' to fundamentalist Muslims, these people do not deserve our society, or what's left of it.
