Bear in mind that I am citing zero sources here and this is all personal opinion.
Probably because Germany has embraced them much more readily. France has a very paradoxically fragile sense of self, and simultaneously a very bloated sense of its own past and grandeur. A disconnect between an imagined France and the one in reality.
As such it insists everyone to conform to French standards, fearing societal collapse otherwise, while Germany, having humbled itself after WWII, does not.
Add to this the fact that (much like the projects in the US)
France built public housing for the middle class which immigrants also occupied, then ethnically Gallic French moved back into the cities, physically separating the banlieues from the rest of society—
And in my opinion, you have a recipe for social unrest.
They, trying to avoid disunity, isolated a community within France and radicalized it along religious lines.
And I'm not sure what can be to reverse it now. Russia and Germany have had more success with integrating Muslim populations. France has a big task ahead of itself.
