You're right UKengQatar about your statement "I think Muslim in West are becoming more Fundamentalist (I didn't say extremist) than their forefathers"
In fact i was in paris many times and i was in the city center or near, i didn't see this concentration, but ofcourse if you go to barbes or in some other places , there is a concentration of hijabi girls that is growing in my sens not because girls are coming back to fontamentalist islam, the problem is known by french gov and is very different from what's happening in the UK or the US.
The french muslim population (boys and girls who are born and schooled in french schools there) are living in big confusion: in France , they try to belong to a community to be " protected" , we all know that the integration process in French has failed and continue to fail..so these youngs are really lost: in France , they can not find a job because of their names, they are french but considered as non french, and in the origin country they are not considered as full citizen by their fellow citizen because they are barely speaking the language or they have different habits, behaviors and attitude....and that put them again in the "fOREIGNER" case... i've been in many europeen countries and this situation exist more in France, Brussels and Holland....
More Hijab in the second generation (we are talking here about % ) is a sign of the high activity of religious groups, they are finding more and more space, no competition...
The same situation exists in the muslim countries, no work, no future, young muslim people have a lot of free/empty time et less hope ...so they turn to fondamentalist islam where groups are very active ...
