A lot of "Muslim immigration" have already been "absorbed" in France before unemployment problems. And you could have difficulties to distinguish them among native French people. Most of young "Muslim" 2nd generation immigrants don't care about their religion. They want to work, have French way of life, even drink Coca Cola. Girls coming from North African immigration are dressed like Britney Spears despite medias show 2 girls per year wearing a tchador.
France is proud to be a non-religious state that can merge different cultures.

But you're right, the problem will increase because more and more African rather risk their life in order to come in Europe (Italy, Spain, France, Germany, England) than starving in their own country.
It's a result of our former and actual selfishness, when Occidental countries exploit their colonies, keeping dictators in power in order to exploit their natural resources instead of helping these countries to develop themselves in respecting their own culture.
