For those who are puzzled by the seeming shift of young Muslims to "extremism", may I invite them to consider the rise of "Black Power" organisations in America in the 1960's
Here were a group of people in what they thought they could consider to be "their country" being effectively told that they were second class citizens. They were a "problem" to be dealt with, a "threat" to the status quo, people to be suspicious of, not to be trusted.
Is it any wonder that some turned around and said "well, if that's how you think we should be treated, we'll damn well behave that way!"?
Now consider the young Muslims again and ask yourself if there's really that much difference.

Exactly what I was saying with my post. Though you would hope they would have the 'moral fibre' not to give in to extremism.....
