Muslim inclusion-exclusion in Europe stems from European concepts of culture and secular state

Evidence

In short, over time the immigrant Muslim popuiations become effectively indistinguishable from the native European populations. This process is facilitated by European societies further developing toward their own ideals. European laws and political and cultural norms become ever more strongly rooted in universal and secular principles and outlook. Traditional Christian sources of European values and historical symbols gradually fade from public life. In effect, a new synthesis of cultures transpires and a new civilization is born. — Michael A.
