So, if we want immigres to comport themselves to western standards of religious (un)fealty we should apprise them of such upon arrival. Or if that is deemed unPC, then where do the authorities get off when the entirely thinkable occurs ??
I don't believe we have let off scores of people using "it's my culture" as a defense. Sure, a few cases have been able to get away with it using a sympathetic judge. That's part of our justice system - much like America, love it or leave it.
Do you propose stripping judges of their ability to grant or refuse leniency? Sounds a lot like the mandatory minimum sentencing that packed our prisons with drug users to the point rapists had to be granted early release (on good behavior) because the prisons were overfilled?
I've heard this before, whether it be dressed up in refugee boogeymen or "super predator" blacks using crack. Not falling for it.
Integration happens when people work together. Enforce the laws and let justice see to itself.
As a side note, I know some Muslims in tech. I do not believe any of them beat their wives nor even entertain the idea that some hadith said they could do it. They live in Silicon Valley as engineers. I'm rather pissed at the thought that your idea of Muslim involves the worst case grouping.
By contrast, we should perceive all Christians as David Duke-style fellows. Or like David Koresh.
Perhaps I was more influenced by this guy who feels he is put on trial for his religion:

“But that’s not what we’re talking about,” he said. “Because if you say, ‘That’s Islam,’ then that’s like me saying, ‘Well, Christianity is David Koresh,’ ” he said, referring to the cult leader.
He began pacing a bit. People were listening.
“Do you guys know who the LRA is?” he said, referring to the Lord’s Resistance Army, the cultish Ugandan rebel group blamed for the deaths of more than 100,000 people. “How many of you knew about that? I want you to raise your hands
