The problem of radical Muslimism is spreading. those who think they can ignore it are asking to be the ignorant victims. As in many other things, ignorance is not bliss, it is only ignorance. "In Britain, the Muslim community is different from anywhere else in Europe, mainly South Asian in origin — particularly Pakistani, Indian and Bangladeshi — with very few North Africans. Indian and Bangladeshi Muslims, like Turks, have been little tempted by extremism. Although many Arab extremists have been given refuge in Britain, it does not have France’s and Spain’s alienated underclass of Arab and North African youths. However, many young British Pakistani men, who often maintain close contact with their parents’ country, have been influenced by the rise of Islamic militancy in Pakistan. Despite the different backgrounds of Europe’s Muslims, they have often presented their governments with the same problems of ghettoisation, poverty and radicalisation." The problem is made worse when an immigrant population is not integrated into society. The phenomenon that has made America stronger through immigration is the melting pot. Go to a downtown celebration from Phoenix to Minneapolis and you will find the remnants of many different cultures all melted together. The mix is different in different cities, but the presence of many countries of origins is the same throughout America. Where cultures have blended together is where tensions are lowest.
