This has had a very destabalizing effect in all of Europe. Holland? Muslims? That country on the brink of strife and internal turmoil. Germany, France, England...have so many Muslims that cling to beliefs that would undermine the very country they've moved too.
If push comes to shove, would these Muslims fight against the country, or go along with subversive plots that would come from their birthplace vs. standing with the country they've moved too?
America...in the past...when people moved to our country, they were integrated and became Americans. Not so much anymore, as even here, we compartmentalize cultures, and don't stress becoming part of the melting pot anymore.
It's disturbing to me, and I can see how the countries of the world are fractionalized and could crumble easily as there are so many within their own borders who don't necessarily maintain the same disposition/loyalty/beliefs that a citizen should have.
The West may "win the battle" against terrorism...but, the war may be lost due to immigration and birthrates.

I don't buy into your assumptions.
How about rampant racism against Muslims preventing them from being more integrated?
Every single generation the majority in America have complained that the latest immigrant group is not / won't integrate culturally with the rest of America. Italians, Irish, Mexicans, Chinese, etc. It's basically impossible NOT to be subsumed. And usually when that happens, I would venture to say it is usually outside forces that are working against integration. Not the immigrant groups preventing it.
