| "a million or more Sunnis of Pakistani background, who comprise the main element among British Asian Muslims, also include the largest contingent of radical Muslims in Europe. Their jihadist sympathies embody an imported ideology, organised through mosques and other religious institutions" -- gives names & organizations at fault. Article by Stephen Schwartz, a Muslim. |

| #4 I'm always suprised when and where the "Arab" dimension in these matters comes into play. All muslims are definitely not created equal. |

| #3 I grew up in Soddiland from 1958 to 1970 and it was very racially stratified. For example: The Americans and English were Senior Staff (Engineers, etc), The Palestinians were at the top of the muslims (due to their excellent schooling from the English), The Soddis were oilfield labor, The Indians were housboys, and at the bottom of the list, The Pakis were the gardeners. Pakis are extreme muzzies, but the arabs look down on them as they are NOT arabs. |

| #1 I've pointed out before that Pakistani Islam is just a branch of Indian Islam and is unique. It is the only islamic culture that developed in an environment where the majority population was not muslim. It thus developed an elaborate set of rules and customs for dealing with the unclean kaffirs a muslim is forced to live amongst. It has a culture of separation.. separate civil laws for muslims in India, muslim only areas in villages, towns, cities and carried to the extreme in the "two nation theory" - the idea that islam is in danger and cannot coexist in a democartic state with other faiths. Muslims are a separate nation and must live in their own state - partition. It suffered a traumatic loss of political power and has sought to restore muslim rule over the subcontinent. Separation is a method to achieve political power. This culture of separation is the template which other muslim communities living in europe but from other regions of the world, are adopting. Thus it is not a surprise that Britain, home to muslim migrants from Pakistan, should be vulnerable to the jihadi threat. |
