Another big difference is that in the 90's France was hit by the global re-islamization wave. With few exceptions, Muslims two decades ago were not wearing the veil, they did not care about halal food, and they were not looking for answers in the life of a 7th century pedophile and mass murderer.It is amazing what the furor regarding the Muslims has brought about recently.
For the past two decades that I have lived here, nobody, but nobody, talked about the Muslims. Mostly, they picked up the garbage, drove buses, etc.
But nowadays, all that has changed. Because their children have grown up and are entering the mainstream. They want to be and they act just like any other French person.
Yes French Muslims are militant because they claim the same rights for them as any other French citizen and you may see it as a proof of integration. But they use those rights to advance Islam, and Islam is the polar opposite of the French culture and model.
Many are very well assimilated, you are right to point it.They are thoroughly assimilated into French society, and because a handful decide to decimate some innocent people is no reason to believe that France is to become a caliphate in the next five years!
But you are wrong to say that the problem is only with a minority. More than half of Muslims are not assimilated, and the community as a whole is de-assimilating itself, as you will see if you ever live in the suburbs.
If a woman wears the hijab, she is not like any other French. She may be legally French but she is not one of us.
