I think it may be worth be pointing out that very few of us in Europe who want closer control of this kind of mass immigration have been making claims that these migrants are from Syria, most of the comments from the "anti-immigration crowd" I've seen from the beginning have correctly identified these attackers as being North African. Different continent. Much of this input has been derided as racism (admittedly by a vanishingly small few) from people assuming that we think they are from Syria.
I'm in the UK, Muslim integration as a whole isn't a problem, it's the integration of nationals from certain Islamic nations, and typically it's nations where fundamentalist Islam is strong. Isis is strong in Tunisia.

From that article:
Tunisia has contributed about 3,000 fighters to the war in Syria and Iraq. Less well known is the fact that the Tunisian interior ministry says it has prevented a further 12,490 people from joining the conflict. While that figure has been disputed, it offers a yardstick of the groundswell of resentment that the Tunisian state is facing.
