That's not the same thing. I grew up in this country and get plain spitting mad at our leaders sometimes. Like this most recent energy bill which is a free for all for the oil companies. But I would never bomb my own country.

True. But your reaction to 9/11 and the London bombings was to nuke Mecca. Muslim reaction to the invasion of Iraq and the killing of Iraqis is to hurt the West.

The London bombers were all UK citizens raised in the UK, yet they bombed their own country. There is absolutely no justification for that.

The Muslims in the UK are not white and were not baptized in the Church of England. What makes you think they did not experience discrimination growing up? The Latino gangs who cause all the violence and mayhem in LA are not the people emigrating to the US from Mexico and Central America.......they are the sons and daughters of the immigrants and are natural born citizens of the US.

The first generation after a wave of immigration often experiences serious discrimination and is forced to maintain a balancing act between the Latino/Muslim culture at home and the Anglo culture they experience outside of the home. They often don't feel the loyalty to their home country that you feel towards the US. Nonetheless, the smartest and most attractive of the bunch usually make it; its the not so smart and not so attractive who start to flag and fall off the track. They are the ones who are fertile ground for gang or suicide bombing recruitment. I am sure its the same with Muslims in the UK. None of this excuses the gang violence in American cities nor the suicide bombings in the UK......it just explains why they are happening.
