It is an interesting situation, especially when you look at the recent bombings in the UK, which was done apparently by british born Muslims. It's as if their extremism is born from a desire to assert their own cultural identity and refusal to assimilate. I wonder if it's also a backlash againt their parents who came to the West for a better life, Where their parents have their past hardships to compare their current situation, their children just see their parents hardship among the apparent ease of living among the Europeans, a perfect recipe for resentment.
I don't know how valid my speculation is but it seems a likely outcome for an imigrant population.
