Jacko,
I am sure there are more than a few Muslims in the good ol' USA, some of them travel back to the homeland, attend religious schools exactly as the UK Muslims do.
Smug I am not. It was a serious question and deserves a serious answer. The UK had the Tube bombings, faced a second round, and now has this latest group of willing Suicide Bombers. The USA has not.
The question remains....simply.... Why so?
We have had our budding terrorists of the home grown variety but not any dedicated enough to enlist in the Suicide Brigade....there must be a reason. Perhaps if we could quantify that to the point we know why that is....perhaps we could head off more converts both in the UK and ultimately the USA.
Detroit, Michigan has the largest Muslim population in the USA and we do not see the problems there as we do in the UK. What is it about our society that prevents this from happening. (At least so far....knock on wood!)
If one thinks it is only the Americans and Israeli's the Fundamentalists hate.....you better grab another cup of coffee....they hate anyone that they consider a non-believer or Infidel. They give a damn one might be the most liberal and apologistic for their conduct.....they still view us all in the same light. Anyone of us could have been aboard one of those airliners....including the Grand Mufti himself and they would carry through on their plot to committ mass murder.
