"in most other cultures that migrate to western lands, there is a cringe factor in the 2nd/3rd generation and the kids tend to assimilate/westernize to be cool. not sure why this is not happening to a greater extent in the muslim community"
but it is.
those "moderate" muslims to which people keep referring are generally 2nd generation footy playing kids whose own children cannot even be told apart from the rest of us aussies.
the ones we are reading about today are just the backward clueless one's who still haven't worked out how to articulate in a sociable way. a bit like alot of teen kids today, who go around trashing stuff and king hitting people, oblivious to the implications of their behaviour.
eventually, like the idiot teens, these ones will either grow a brain, or their kids will.
you can't fight evolution. if you could, we would all still be violent racist redneck numbnuts like many of our forefathers were:)
