While it is my experience that you see women in burkas and hijabs more commonly in some major European cities than you do it the US, the fact remains that Europe is much safer than the US and has much less crime, especially murders. Mass murders are far more common in the US than in Europe. Most mass murders are done by loners who are not part of any terrorist network, even if they might, like the Orlando shooter, admire ISIS - the Munich shooting was by a guy who was, apparently obsessed with violence and had clippings of the Norway mass murder and other mass murders. The Nice mass murder was also by an angry loner who just happened to be Muslim. In the US, we have nearly yearly incidents like Columbine, Connecticut (can't remember the town), and on and on.
If Europe wants to reduce the disaffection of young Muslim men, it could start by helping them find jobs so they are not confined to ghettos on the edge of London and Paris. In fact the same can be said of the middle east. High youth unemployment and lack of opportunity breed hatred and violence.
