Home grown

Every Western country is now dealing with the threat of home-grown Muslim terrorists. Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims, at least that what it seems now. In every country there have been examples of locals who are not only immigrants, but have also been born there and have gone through school there, and seem superficially to be well-adjusted, but turn out to be highly ideologically motivated haters and killers.
In France, there was extensive rioting of Muslim and Black youths, many of them French-born, who torched thousands of cars and hundreds of buildings, because they are alienated from French culture. In Britain there were of course the 4 Muslim suicide bombers from Leeds, one a convert, who blew up trains and buses on 7/7 and killed 54 and wounded 200 fellow citizens. And for what? To prove that they hated their country, that it meant nothing to them and that all infidels are worthless and can be killed. And one of the killers was a well-liked teacher who had 4 kids. And then there were the 4 copy-cat killers whose bombs luckily proved to be duds and they were caught. Of course, there were also the bombers of Madrid trains, one of whom was paid for the explosives.
In Canada, 17 adults and youths were arrested last week and are being charged with various crimes, including terrorism and plotting deaths, etc. They planned to take over the Candian Parliament building in Ottawa and kill MPs and behead the PM if they could. If it can happen in Canada, the most permissive and one of the most economically advanced societies in the world, it could happen anywhere, not to mention Germany, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, etc.
What is it that motivates these young men? After all there are millions of poor, desperate Asians and Africans who would give anything to be in their places. Every day hundreds of Black (mostly Muslim) immigrants (from Mauretania, etc.) arrive in leaky over-crowded boats on the Canary islands hoping for a chance to get into Spain and Europe. And the Spanish are criticised when they deport these people back to Africa. Malta is over-run by them, the PM of Malta issued a call for help to the EU because they can't cope with the influx.
Of course, in the US, border security has become a major national issue, with the Medxican border overrun by hundreds of thousands of South and Central Americans and Mexicans. Now the US is building a security fence, much like that built by Israel to keep out the Palestinian suicide bombers. And now the US has to worry more about security on the Canadian border.
The problem is that within a generation, the home-grown Muslims have forgotten how lucky their father's generation felt to be allowed to immigrate into the Western countries. They already think they are owed everything that the "whites" have, they aren't prepared to wait or work hard for it, they want it now, as they have grown to expect in Western culture. And unlike other immigrants, such as the Jews, who considered themselves lucky just to be left alone to do their own thing, these young Muslims want to control the place, they think they have the answer to everything in their ideology, and if the infidels don't like it, too bad, they will be killed and then forced to accept it. So welcome to the era of home-grown terrorists, it will be a long and difficult war.
In another phase of the terrorist war the IAF targeted and killed Jamal Samhadane. the Head of the Popular Resistance Committees, and a well-known terrorist leader. He has been responsible for most of the Kassam rocket attacks on the Negev. A few months ago the Hamas Government also appointed him to Head the militia they set up to oppose that of the Fatah-dominated Security forces. This was considered a direct insult to Pres. Abbas as well as to Israel, where it was known that he was a highly wanted terrorist. His passing might be compared to that of al-Zarqawi in the Iraq context. He was killed during a training exercise for a terrorist attack to accompnay the firing of Kassams, six of which were fired on Thursday and one of which hit a home in Sderot. His death will set back the terrorist organizations in Gaza, and is a loss to Hamas.
