"A survey of the Muslim community has uncovered that a third feel that mass murder of British civilians is justified because of Britain's participation in Iraq. This alienation is the most important political phenomenon in British politics today, yet no politician has stooped to try to understand it, preferring to mouth homilies about the "majority of Muslims being peace-loving." Opponents of the war crow about Tony Blair's foreign policy generating jihadis. Liberal opinion falls back on mantras about racism breeding alienation.
They ignore the fact that 9/11 preceded Iraq, and that other unemployed communities haven't resorted to mass murder. No, something else is happening. It is significant that 22 universities have been named as epicenters of jihadist recruitment. The leader of the latest terror attempt is alleged to be a biochemistry student. These educated young men have ventured the farthest from the enclosures of their communities: The well-fed bite the hand that feeds.
Frustration and aimlessness are the seeds of alienation. British identity gives them no goals. They turn, instead, to the disciplines that were instilled in them from birth. Al Qaeda's aim to dominate the world with a universal Shariah kingdom makes them part of an elite. Their stance is fundamentally ideological, and being the ideology of religion, with 72 virgins on offer in paradise, it is fundamentally illogical. Their basic Western education makes them aware that they may be challenged in their fantasies of faith by more enlightened arguments of other Islamic persuasions. Instead, their spokesmen and suicide notes refer to British policies and lend a veneer of logic, of cause and effect, to their murder. Yet no spending plans in poor areas, multicultural reform of education or antiterrorist detention laws, or, for that matter, withdrawal of Britain's armies from Iraq, will deal conclusively with this ideology of murder."
"Al Qaeda's aim to dominate the world with a universal Shariah kingdom makes them part of an elite."
Really? Well, that certainly runs counter to what some would have us believe, doesn't it? And this coming from someone who would know from first-hand experience, not from someone viewing from the outside looking in and whose opinion is purely politically-driven.
Maybe certain folks need to re-think their stance on this.

It's easier for five college students to plan and impliment mass murder and get themselves into the papers than it is to study for biochemistry exams, which has a poor likelihood of leading to sensational fame (or 72 virgins). The same is even more true of five guys in a poor neighborhood choosing between sensational mass murder and the more difficult task to studying their way into college, or starting a business.
Why is Arabia, and muslim nations in general, so backwards? Difficult answer: Arabians and muslims are making poor choices. Easy answer: Isreal and US policies!
The US has military bases in many nations, where people live freely and safely, control their own governments, prosper, and have various business arrangements with US corporations. These nations include: Japan, South Korea, Britain, France, Italy, and Germany, all nations (except for Britain) invaded and conquered by the US, with their governments erected under US supervision with the declared aim of producing a democracy. All the peoples of these nations gave the US plan a chance, and none resorted to massive internal violent clashes, or anti-US military operations. The result: freedom (including freedom to practice any religion or no religion and to blaspheme!), independance, and prosperity.
I'm very curious how Nadir would react if the islamaKKKers get their way. Imagine Nadir forced to practice Islam, dragged into the street for a summary beating or imprisonment for publically criticizing his government, his wife whipped for showing her face, his music banned under penalty of death.
