I don't see any evidence that refugees from Syria and Iraq have any burning desire to buy into our ethos. I don't see any commitment to tolerance, democracy or even compromise.
I can't say I've seen any evidence either way - there seems to be very little information available.
The best figure I can find is that about 4,000 settled in the U.K. last year - a tiny number in comparison to our overall population or in comparison to the 300,000+ net immigration figure.
I agree that there is little evidence showing a commitment to tolerance, democracy or compromise but likewise there is little evidence showing otherwise!
