Well, this is just Europe, having to pay the piper for meddling in international affairs of the last 30 years.
You can't have a proxy war among members of NATO and non members, destroy a whole country and then not have to take care of the aftermath.
Exporting democracy has a few side effects, namely a lot of people are displaced and become refugees, they have no real other option but to go away somewhere else or get killed in the crossfire.
So is it good they are migrating? No. But not because they are all criminals who want to take over the country.
Was it preventable? Yes.
It's also an issue for the Gulf States. They aren't contributing enough. Muslims should be taking care of other displaced Muslims. They should have a greater part in fighting ISIS and helping deal with the fallout than the likes of Germany, France and Sweden for example.

So you think its both possible and probable that they will assimilate? If you moved to Syria, would you and your family assimilate?
Further more, is there a reason Europe should take them in, in the first place?

Shouldn't Europe be concerned about it's own well being and interests? Another question. Do you think a large migration of Muslim migrants into Europe will hurt European people, European culture, or European countries in any way; that is will it hurt European culture, people, and countries more than it will help them?

Syria, a successful state? All the states in the Middle East have been in turmoil for hundreds of years, well before western countries interfered.
