A majority of people living the Middle East a Maghreb DON'T want their societies to resemble those of the West. How hard is this to understand? They rebel against personal freedoms for women, religious minorities, LGBT, etc, and generally want to keep life as it's been for centuries. So when these people are ushered into Europe, the cultural shock is too great, which drives some further into religious extremism or just blatant disregard for their host country.
Which ignores the fact that the vast majority of immigrants from the Middle East--- and elsewhere, for that matter---has successful transitioned to life in the West. For people who you think "can't handle freedom" they are doing fairly well for themselves here in America, for instance.
