re: #430 kmg

I don’t think that right wing Europeans caused the radicalization of some Muslims, just like I don’t think Muslim radicals caused Europeans or others to become right wing. Muslim radicals were created by the upbringing they received at home, in school and in the mosque. And it was probably these similar influences that caused right wingers to dislike Muslims (and possibly other people who are “different”). Before 911 not much notice was taken of Muslims and trouble with integrating into a new country isn’t just their issue. It also occurs to other immigrant groups. However, the very violent reactions of disgruntled Muslims (in Europe and elsewhere) is something that is unique to them. To pretend otherwise is just dishonest.

Oh, and welcome to America.
