the problem with muslim youth living in western countries is widespread i must admit. as speaking as a muslim living in a western country i can vouch for that. we've recently had the 'race riots' here in sydney between lebanese youth Vs anglo saxon youth. there needs to be a solution, but attacking them willy nilly would isolate these youths and further dislocate them from society.
so you ask, what needs to be done? im not sure..something to bring them back to mainstream i guess.. but dragonlich is right..they do blame everyone but themselves, and even i feel ashamed of that. we need to stop feeling victimised. one the other hand, any time a minor incident happens that involves middle eastern youths or islam or anything minutely related it makes the front pages, so i think some of our media outlets have to answer for some of what has been going on lately too.
for example, im nots ure if you guys are aware of the sydney race riots but it occured over a scuffle between middle eastern youths and a life guard at a beach. it eascalated after shock jocks roused people up on talk back radio which filtered to TV and in the end we had SMS messages asking for peoples heads which finally led to the riots at cronulla.
anyways enough of me for now..all im saying is we should wisen up, but so should the media.
