We could make a couple simple requirements before opening our borders to Middle Eastern refugees and see how things go:
1) Open the borders of Mecca and Medina to Christian immigrants - perhaps make a refugee area for Coptic (Egyptian) Christians in each of these 2 cities. Tolerance should be a 2-way street.
2) No attacks carried out in the name of Allah or Islam against Israeli/Western/European cities, citizens or targets for a full calendar year. The calendar would begin only after Item 1 has been satisfied.

"The dignity of man is not shattered in a single blow, but slowly softened, bent, and eventually neutered. Men are seldom forced to act, but are constantly restrained from acting. Such power does not destroy outright, but prevents genuine existence. It does not tyrannize immediately, but it dampens, weakens, and ultimately suffocates, until the entire population is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid, uninspired animals, of which the government is shepherd." - Alexis de Tocqueville
