One possibility is France's inherently anti-secular nature. In countries where piety is generally accepted (or ignored) its hard for the radical imams to convince people that they're being oppressed. France's bureaucracy has a very anti-religious streak - both anti-Christian and anti-Muslim. Easier for people to succumb to the message of separatism, hate and oppression.

A little twist here, but have either of you - or anyone else - visited both Paris and Rome? If so, which did you like visiting more and why? Thanks.
