But it is different when they are immigrants from a different culture with a different religion being brought up in an opposing country. It creates jealousy and a tiny bit of hatred for the freedoms we enjoy but they can't
The point is Islam offers a clear alternative the the degenerate western lifestyle being pushed down on us from lefties on high. The more ridiculous it gets, the more attractive Islam becomes to those who are disenchanted with western culture. Our own religions have all either joined forces with the looney left by cherry-picking jesus quotes that are congruent with their libertine lifestyle ("just love everyone man"), or completely waived the flag. [Note, I am not part of any organized religious group, btw]
Conservatives have completely lost the culture wars. Everything since the early 90s has just been delaying actions, putting up minimal resistance, and eventually giving way.
My point is that there is no existing culture or religious structure to counteract cultural Marxism and for many disaffected people, Islam provides an attractive alternative. [By no means am I supporting Islam itself---just noting the reality that it presents a cohesive counter to the current cultural narrative]. Also the same reason why orthodox religion is seeing a resurgence in Russia and why Putin is so popular among many conservatives.
Islam does have a point. The idea that Western media is exporting insane sexual mores to Islamic societies via its control on entertainment is factually correct. I fully expect to see Bill Nye referenced in ISIS, MB or al Qaeda literature/video in the very, very near future (they used Miley Cyrus MTV bit where she was eating out a fat woman's ass and that's nowhere near as objectionable as Nye's schtick to a person of conscience). The reason they will is because they don't have to twist anything to make their argument. "Muh Sex junk" is exactly what they will say it is. That Islamic societies' sexual mores are also insane and that the people who are making this point are more violent than Bill Nye could ever be (mostly due to capabilities) doesn't contest the specific point they're making--that the West is intentionally trying to indoctrinate youth in degeneracy. That's what makes # like this effective as a recruiting tool. The salafis don't have to lie or mischaracterize anything. Nye's message is verbatim what they're a few weeks from saying it is. Islam's solution/response is evil, but the grievance, itself, is not BS. Not as long as Netflix/Hollywood is funding ***** like this and holding up people like Nye as some sort of person to be admired

They aren't if you read it all...they are talking about the lack of sex for British Muslims being part of the reason they join ISIS it seems perhaps you may have skimmed through the post and got the wrong end of the stick

The Indians did. They chose to emigrate and adopt our way of life. Every time there is a crisis or a terrorist attack you can guarantee the Sikhs will be there first helping dishing out food or whatever. The Indians have been a part of our culture for generations since during and after the war
The main reason secular and nonsecular people have been having sex is because they expect some type of financial compensation in return.Â

So very strange that with all the Muslim threads, the one that attempts to show why its not necessarily radicalisation that's the problem is the one with the least replies.
What's up? Don't like the fact that there may not actually be as many "radicals" as you thought?
