Subject: RE: BS: Foreign Policy as Terror Catalyst
I mentioned this on another thread. The young Moslem men in question are certainly no different to the other young men who, from the 60's onwards in my experience and probably much earlier, feel dissillusioned and angry.
Where they do seem to differ is that they seem to live in predominantly Moslem and/or Pakistani enclaves or sub-communities. I am sure that if these communities were more integrated these young men would see that the establishment is no harsher in their treatment than it is of other people. They may still become angry young men but at least they will be angry for the right reasons. And perhaps the media will then stop refereing to them by their ethnicity and alienating both communities?
