Jihad in Jersey

Well this suggestion is too late because the water that has flowed under the bridge, is in the sea and no one can do anything. Do you know that since four generations all immigrants to Western and Euorpean contries are the Citizens of their countires by birth. The problem is not with the visitors. The problem is with the so called citizens that I have pointed out as above. Its a social problem cooked up in the minds of these citizens for decades.This frustrated minds, Particularly Muslims, started looking for means to drawing attention or being noticed in society (this is more applicable with UK Muslim Citizens).

So the religion became the means of expression which caught momentum and we see the present form in its harder state of expression.What is this Hijab ( the veil on face) its for identity and this is how extremism becomes a mind set. Many will get disturbed, but as a Muslim, I know it is nowhere mentioned or ordered in Quraan as is being followed in France etc. this is only a social problem which does not have the equilibrium in the society vs setteller citizens.That is what I call social problem.

I would say all such people should go back to their own countries (less arabs).They will never do so for obvious economic reasons. I very strongly feel that these countries have to devise some way to earn 100% loyalties. No individual with dual nationality can be loyal to either country in its true sense. All those who are born citizens they do not bear true allegiance to either of the coutnry. So the least and foremost remedy I visualize, is that dual Nationality must be stopped. One is either America, British and should not be British Indian or Asian etc. it makes the very basis wrong.

I can debate with anyone who does not agree with me because its 50 year old problem, ie the soial cause more than 50 years old. So its not so simple to discuss, it involves a very long discussion. So I will say its not correct to condemn as Muslims or the religion alone. Yes, I will only agree with you that the inflow of religious people needs to be controlled, which is again due to ecnomic reasons, and Religion is being used as a tool.

People like Tahir ul qadri started in the quest of economic gains and today no one can do anything because they are legally drilled in the society. I call it the fault of these countries who issued visas to these people as religious people and they did not tell lies to get the visa. I will say it is a sweeping statment or half truth when some one says Muslims are liars. What are hispancs in USA, are they not a serious threat to the society are they all truth speaking people, or liars. No, we can not decide without going into details.
