Ustwo... it was not my intention to blame the victim, rather it is an attempt, after much reading about the subject, to understand the causes.
I would agree that the problem lies in their culture (lack of free speech, lack of democracy, combined with corrupt leadership and a radicalized religion) but it is when that culture intersects in the West that some of the more intense forms of radicalization have occurred.
As you have pointed out, you have seen the, "extreme pressure they put themselves under to be 'good Muslims', how they alienate themselves, and how they treat/intimidate those Muslims who do try to adopt western ways". It clearly isn't *just* the West that I am pointing to rather it is the two in combination.
