Why are you saying "better living to their own country"? Maybe they were born and raised in Holland? Dutch muslims, they do exist and they are part of the Dutch society.
If so, they have a lot to learn...
They might or might not have been Dutch in nationality. If so, they had certainly a double nationality. More important, they were not adapted to the current demands of Dutch society. I bet if you asked them what they were they would probably not have answered: "Dutch."

I love cultural diversity as much as most Dutch and consider it a historic acquisition of our society. It has added to what we Dutch have become as a people. And the funny thing is most cultures therefor hardly pose any problem in Holland. Race in Amsterdam we hardly notice.

But you are right to make a critical remark, because practicing these rituals in public transportation in these times did really snap something with me: the total disdain and indifference towards public sentiments in their host society really pizzed me off more than is characteristic for me!
