Really confused here as I'm not sure whether it is terrorism or crime that's being argued, and whether it is Islamophobia or immigration. Just a couple of things to consider:
1) Islam is a religion that spans multiple cultures and races. Mohammed Ali, Lauren Booth (former British PMs sister in law), Amir Khan (boxer), Sonny Bill Williams (one of the greatest Rugby players), Thierry Henry (one of the greatest footballers) and I can go on, are all Muslim and all come from different parts of the world with their own cultures.
2) the greatest act of terror with the highest death count has been against Muslims in the last 10 years. The media talks about EU, USA and Britain but forget that in Syria alone over 140,000 Muslims have been killed by terrorists.
3) people often forget that the Iraq war was illegal and therefore by all means can be considered an act of terrorism. Therefore anyone supporting it in any way, shape or form could be considered a terrorist.
4) muggings, rape, gang violence, fraud mob mentality are all acts of crime that are not limited to immigrants. Everyday there are cases being reported with less attention where the crime is being committed by noon immigrants.
5) the so called "Muslim terrorists“ are part of a cult called the Khawarij in the Muslim world. They are not considered Muslim, they do not follow Sharia law and they have killed more Muslims to date than any other faith, culture or race to date.
6) the Syrian / Afghan issue has been a 100 years in the making when the Ottoman Empire was torn up. The west decided to rip apart a Sufi led Muslim middle East and replace it dictators that only cared about money and themselves and small denominations that were the total opposite of the sufi led Ottomans. This was to ensure the Ottoman Empire could never regroup. The problem with that is simple:
The opposite of a sufi denomination is a conservative, closed off and really conservative denomination. The Saudis for example as soon as they were put in power started to destroy historical sites and push a new agenda - their agenda. They were naturally backed by their western friends.
The problem is, although all this seamed like a great idea at the time, they forgot that when you put dictators, greedy people, and very conservative minor denominations in charge who do not believe in leaders as they often just do their own thing, you are essentially brewing a shit storm.
What we see here today are the results of decisions made a century ago. Instead of addressing them, we are pointing fingers and thinking that by calling names and being hostile (something that has failed to work since 9/11, things will get better. We think that by painting everyone with the same brush because they are different will solve the problem.
It's been 15 years since 9/11 and people are singing the same song, pushing the same language, pointing fingers everywhere and hoping that something different happens. It's the definition of insanity, and people are far too invested in their own stories that they push their agenda and belief in hopes that it will make them feel better or magically produce a solution. It hasn't yet and do not be surprised if it doesn't tomorrow, or the day after.
