I have no problems with Muslims in my country as long as they are loyal citizens, which the majority is. However I am not blind and I see a growing extremism amoungst the second and third generation of immigrants, who were never properly taught how to behave in a free society and are now being hijacked by radical imans. I also clearly undrerstand the philosophical problem for the Islam to operate for the first time as a minority religion in a mainly secular environment; a role it is definitely not prepared for to play. This - the constellation of our western free society with its individual freedoms - creates great uncertainty and the sense of being threatened amoungst fundamental (= the majority of) Muslims. Some adapt, or lose interest in their religion, others want to destroy the free world and build a perfect umma. I further see a problem of loyality for many Muslims. They should stay on the right side of the line separating "us" from "them" (the radicals). But too many linger or try to avoid hard choices. Toomany pretend to be against violence but immediately point at Israel or the United States, thus excusing the terrorists. Toomany say they support their new country but refuse to inform the law enforcing agencies about what happens in their midst. Toomany refuse any soul-searching about the fundamental issues that makes the Islam a religion that can so easily lead to or be used for violence. It's really the Muslim community itself in many countries that has to determine whether they are with "us" or with "them". And don't forget, this Salafi jihad is not your average terror organisation like the ETA, the IRA, the Tamil Tigers and so on. Those are local organisations with limited political objectives and a high percentage of criminal influence (from drugs trafficking to extortions). The Salafi jihad has no less objective but to conquer the world and kill or suppress all infidels. We can laught about them, but because they take their struggle serious and will do anything to reach their goal we better take them serious as well.
