Relatively speaking, a Conservative in Europe is much closer to a traditional moderate Democrat than a traditional conservative Republican.
I see this as a backlash to the permissive nature of immigration laws of the 60s through today. It also has its roots in colonial imperialism, especially in France. The immigration "problem" in Europe isn't unlike the US's problem with illegal immigration.
If amnesty is granted in the US then the former illegals will have a legal leg to stand on and will start making demands just like the Muslims are doing in their host countries.

It may not be clear from the news reports, but the hooliganism that these countries are reacting against comes from Muslim immigrants in their countries who do not know how to behave in a civilized manner. Law-abiding Muslims need to help deal with the problem, of course, but the governments themselves need to act also.
So, I am encouraged that the problem is being recognized and an effort is being made to deal with it.
I am concerned for the future though.

No, they need some law and order. Don't confuse conservatism with being radical. Anyway conservative is a relative term, what they call conservative we might call liberal. What we call conservative might be called liberal by others.
