I know that, but this makes the whole issue even more dangerous.

People who were living their whole life like Europeans, were not interested in Islamic culture and religion, can wake up one day and attack in the name of it. It shows that cultural identity is hard wired much more deeper than many think and assimilation is in fact impossible.

No, in my view it shows that assimilation isn't objectively better in all cases. In other words, pressuring people to shed away their culture and customs because you're afraid or annoyed by their "otherness" can sometimes backfire. This is why laws that target minorities aren't a good idea.

I am not saying that it's OK to murder innocents because of such laws! But I am saying that forced assimilation can push some types of people to an extreme viewpoint.

It also shows that the techniques recruiters use can be effective on some people.

No it doesn't.

It shows that some people are susceptible to being groomed by extremists.
