This might be far fetched, but I think that maybe a lot of refugees enter Europe via Italy and Greece. Loads of them being Muslim and coming from conflict area's or area's with loads of poverty. It might be that the Muslims in the US made a real decision to go to the US, and the fact that they got a green card might mean that they have high education or a job there for them already. Whereas the refugee Muslims in Europe did not really aim for a specific place, just somewhere saver. But I think in the last year there were more than 100.000 refugees entering Italy alone.
I have to be careful here, I do not want to say that these people are savages that turn good neighborhoods in to ghettos. But they are people arriving with nothing, from a very different culture than ours. Most of them are very willing to learn the language and adapt, but it is not an easy task.
I am not really talking about immigrants here. Just about refugees. Of course Muslims have been in Europe and the US for many many years, but I guess those who have been there longer are not the ones noticed so much.
