Europe believed as long as a person 'had a place' to practice their religion without oppression that would enamor the children to their loyalties forever.
Some members of the EU want to attempt to eliminate head coverings in their school girls and that has turned into a propaganda statement by radical extremists.
The generosity of democracy is to include all of what defines an individual as a member of it's society. Unfortunately, democracy has been trampled by young men and women who are told their own democracy hates them and they need a greater dedication of their masculine prowess and uterus to find favor with Allah.
(In case there is a misunderstanding about the word Allah, it means "The God." There is no separate God to Muslims. Allah is simply the word that expresses "The God." The French are correct in calling IS by the name of Daesh. If God is defined by the word Allah, then IS should be defined by the same standard. As we have witnessed the IS changes names over and over again, but, it cannot escape the name Daesh.)
But to Europe. It is obvious it's immigrants decades ago were disgruntled and that is now reflected in their adult children. These young people are so important to Europe no different than a native born, but they don't feel it. They are feeling a higher calling. God has to be a partner in the understanding of Europe's young adults. It doesn't mean the laws have to change, so much as society finding these young people as precious as their own. After all, if God could speak to them the words might be, "You all worship me and the variety of worship is delightful."
These young people are falling prey to men who design a very hostile world for them. They define their higher purpose as serving God by relinquishing their rights to personality and individuality. The recruitment of young men and women from The West means they found the depth of meaning in life by destroying the very aspect most cherished in their Homelands.
So what to do? Acceptance and elevation of the spirituality of these young minds would be inclusive, but, there has to be more cooperation with all the nations involved. Turkey has to close it's borders.
The constant flow of young men and women into Syria only proves the very naivete of their own life experience. Perhaps developing a service corp similar to the USA's AmeriCorps (click here) is needed. At a time when the economies of many countries are soft the addition of young people dedicated for a year or so to the best outcomes of their countries may be appropriate. Perhaps placing them in internships with great democratic practitioners of freedom of speech such as Charlie Hebdo would reveal the essence of democracy and it's need for their loyalty and defense.

It is difficult to condemn young people badly effected by propaganda to a life of pain and suffering at the hands of Daesh. Excluding them from redemption to return home is at the same time reinforcement of their status to bring about success for these extremists. It should be a challenge to Europe to find a solution to return their people back to status in their Homelands.
But, until those remedies can be decided and reinforced to the best outcome Turkey is a strategic partner in NATO. The open border policy has to end.
It is so ironic to realize Syria was once an ally of Russia and Turkey has an open border policy and it's greatest concern was PKK. But, today with Daesh in place that policy is a far greater danger to itself and Europe. I am sure Russia is not exclusive from losing young people to Daesh. Although rarely mentioned, I would be surprised that Russia has not lost some of their young people to Syria's civil war.
The resolve to this dilemma is multifaceted and it is a challenge to countries in closer proximity to Syria, but, it is not a challenge so great Europe is stymied to it's resolve.

GOTHENBURG, Sweden — When he was 3 years old, (click here) Ahmed arrived in southern Sweden from Iraq, together with his older brother and parents. The family settled in one of their new country’s cut-off suburbs, where its many new immigrants come to live, but mostly to be forgotten.
The family found a home in one of the many rows of gray, faceless apartment buildings that make up these deeply segregated suburbs that ring Sweden’s urban centers — in Angered, outside Gothenburg. As he grew into his teenage years, Ahmed began to scold his siblings to be more religious. He spent considerable time in front of his computer, becoming engrossed in graphic, violent videos from the civil war in Syria. Inspired, he read the biographies of martyrs who had died in battle, waging jihad in the holy land. And gradually he turned inward, withdrawing from society and his former life.
A troubled teenager in search of his identity, 17-year-old Ahmed was asking the basic questions of coming of age: Who am I? What is my place in the world? At the local mosque, extremist recruiters made easy work of him, providing the answers he sought. In just six or seven weeks, he became radicalized — changing his beliefs and adopting a Salafi interpretation of Islam, with a strict, binary outlook on life. He distanced himself from his friends, labeling them apostates. Or, as he said, kuffar....

One in four (click here) British Muslims sympathise with terrorists behind the Charlie Hebdo attacks, a new poll shows.
A poll reveals how a significant minority of Muslims endorse terrorist atrocities against those who mock the Prophet Mohammed.
Some 27 per cent of British Muslims said they have "some sympathy for
the motives behind the attacks" on the Paris magazine, according to
polling by ComRes for the BBC....
