I have no problem with muslim immigrants who want to escape islam and live a western lifestyle. In the immediate aftermath of the Iranian revolution there was a wave of emigrants from Iran into Europe. People who had become used to a freer lifestyle and wanted to escape the Islamic rule that was coming in. They might still celebrate Eid in the same way that I celebrate Christmas. And obviously they may cook and eat the same food they grew up with and have Iranian style clothing that they wear on special occasions. But their day to day lives and their core values are largely the same as the people in the country they came to live in. And, I'm glad for them that they got to escape from the type of life would have been imposed on them if they had stayed in Iran. I don't blame anyone for wanting to escape what is honestly a nightmare fucking existence.

The problem is that in the more recent decades we have had muslim immigrants who are not trying to escape islamic law but bring it here with them.

This is the fault of their conspiracy theories, unfortunately.

If you believe all the problems in your country are due to evil colonialism or the Jews than it doesn't matter if you bring your corrupt and damaging culture with you when you leave. Your culture and behaviour can't be causing all the bad things happening to you when you are a poor victim, right?
