Humans are just not evolved enough for disparate groups to suddenly begin living side by side. I'm not anti-immigration/anti-Islam/anti-whatever by any means. You just can't suddenly rearrange the pieces of the puzzle and expect all of them to fit together, that just doesn't work. Personally, I think the other nations of the world with more similar cultural and religious characteristics should be taking the refugees and we provide aid to them. It would be better for everyone, including the refugees themselves.
How ridiculous would it be to take a poor white Christian family from Eastern Kentucky and drop them into, say, Saudi Arabia? Or Thailand? But that is exactly what happens when Middle Eastern and/or Muslim refugees are exported en masse to countries much different than their own. The natives look upon them with resent and suspicion. The refugees form insular communities which resist assimilation and sometimes carry on practices that are seen as bizarre or even illegal. It isn't good for anyone, particularly the refugees themselves.
