Over a long period of time? Why not. America is nearly 100% immigrants.

Most of them were White Christians for the longest time. Are people of that even temperament that you can't see differences between them?
Certainly I see differences in people's culture. I don't damn them for it.
One can move for economic opportunities or cultural opportunities. The two can co-occur but they are different needs. If we're talking about integration of Muslims, the ones who aren't soft on their own beliefs, i.e. not raised in the cosmopolitan West, are likely moving simply for economic opportunity or to avoid danger, not necessarily because they like the West.

Given that in most countries that are purely Muslim have reason to resent the West and see their struggle as being in part ideological, as Western materialist culture is antithetical to Islamic theocracy, should we not be a little bit wary?

I don't think culture is the only variable, but even if it was, there is still cause for concern.
