Muslim Musings on British Muslims

Ali Eteraz gives the most compelling refutation that we have ever seen, of the idea that British Muslim anger is caused by British foreign policy. This is an article very much worth reading:

"For you see, Palestine, Chechnya, Afghanistan, Iraq are just proxies for the fanatic. If all of those places were at peace he would find new reasons for legitimizing his killing. He would target Western “materialism.” He would target Western “hedonism.” He would target Western “secularism.” Just as a fanatic can look to the television and see dead Muslim children around the world to fuel his rancor, he would be able to find on the television any number of other “catalysts” to fuel his behavior.... No, it is not the foreign policy that is the problem; it the fanatic that is the issue."

His article is here.
