Born Here, Educated Here, One Would Think That They Should Feel Part Of This Country, So Why Is It That They Don't.

/// A failure of integration means that some young Muslims 'don't really identify with Britain and feel little or no attachment to other people here',' he will say. ///

Their grand parents and parents who were born and brought up in their own distant county's culture and traditions, for most now feel part of this country that they chose to come to, so why not their young?

They don't really identify until they want something like free speech, a Giro, legal aid, housing etc etc.
Then they got they rights innit, na'a mean.

An MI5 officer wrote that he was stood outside the mosque with the older chaps when a gang of youngsters hove into view. "Look out" said the old guys, "Here come the Arabs".
I suspect a lot of them are as bewildered as we are.

[Old_Geezer]

That makes it an interesting situation.

It seems all a little extreme for teenage rebellion. There seems to be a rejection of the gains/sacrifices made by those that came here initial then and a possibly fanatical drawing back to older values: if we take that at face value. I wonder how many generations it takes for that to settle down ? A lot I suspect, if the community sticks together in one area or group for a feeling of ease at being amongst those they consider the same.

What I really don't understand is the guys like the ones who tried to blow up Glasgow Airport - I mean they were all trained doctors!
I really just don't understand it

[mallyh]

perhaps if their families intergrated with us instead of bringing their home country here hope you get what i mean .

[youngmafbog]

I'm afraid New Labour has a lot to answer for here. Their continual pushing of multi cultural society and the screams of racist when anyone did not kow-tow to their views have contributed to this culture clash we have today.

Its hardly surprising that some Muslim teens are dissafected when they look at their British peers and see freedoms that their parent, still living in the 15C refuse to let them have.

[Canary42]

One of the greatest ironies is that the reason immigrants don't become more integrated is precisely because of the open hostility towards them by such folk as AOG and his adherents.

[TheChair]

Canary42 has hit it on the nail.
How would you feel if you were born and educated in a country, but treated like an enemy alien by a sizeable minority of the population?

[Retrochic]

Because these young people have not experienced a true Muslim regime that their forefathers felt the need to escape to the UK from. The Uk provided good education freely available, no strict regimes and an escape from poverty. Now they are hand fed the 'Disney' Muslim lifestyle, think what was coming out of the USA in adverts and films in the fifties the 'perfect family' and replace with 'the perfect religion'

"How would you feel if you were born and educated in a country, but treated like an enemy alien by a sizeable minority of the population? "

How would you feel if you were born and educated in a country, but saw your towns taken over by people you dont identify with, and forced to accept them and their ways ?

The majority of people I know and mix with are Irish or of Irish decent. I went to a Catholic school where the majority were Irish. The pubs I drank in were mainly Irish. People stick together, it's human nature.

[Svejk]

Travellers have always stuck together.

Yes but they are hardly likely to get that freedom they seek in such places as Syria.

If they want to enjoy the freedoms of their British peers, why not move away from their 15th century life and move to another part of this country, far away from their parents?

Name two groups of none English who have committed terrorist incidents.

Need I say more?

Really?
