To be fair, her comment was just overly simplistic. Muslim immigrants aren't inherently a problem. Immigration of a whole bunch of Muslims all at once may be a problem if the immigration process isn't handled properly - e.g., simply dropping a million Syrian muslims into Toronto probably doesn't go terribly well.
It's not an issue of terrorism, it's an issue of ensuring that people are integrated into communities in a way that allows their values to cohere with the ones that are important to us - the notion that women are equal to men and that homosexuality is totally fine being the most obvious examples. So, what the democrats were proposing seemed like it would be totally non-problematic, whereas the way Germany did it has caused some issues.
