“He accuses his Algerian parents of sowing “fertile ground” for radicalization”
That’s ONE of the key contributors. First, second and third generation, born and bred in western countries, very much influenced by their (traditional) parents at home.
BUT, nothing is universal. some do and some don’t.
Same time or later, they’re influenced by their community, often very receptive to be infiltrated by the likes of AQ and IS, etc. This is further reinforced by mainstream western media and social media networks. All in all, they end up very confused, pulled in different directions, and alienated.
In the first instance, this comment from another thread almost has it:
“Most of the French problem comes because of the former French Colonies like Algeria. Tens of thousands of Muslim soldiers fought for France. We allow foreigners to fight in our Armed Forces. It’s a way to citizenship.
Germany and England are the problem, more than France. England isn’t England anymore and Germany has opened the floodgates. France is trying to fight back since Sarkozy’s time.”

Exactly. The WRONG move is to cede to Muslim demands. They either assimilate or they are sent home. France does not allow women’s faces to be covered if they work in a public office.
There are problem areas in France as there are here in the states. I’ve never had a problem there and do know many Muslims. That is not to say I find them all agreeable any more than I find all of ANY ethnic groups agreeable. The great danger is ignoring the differences. I do NOT approve of trying to make Western Children “appreciate’ Sharia law!!!
Massive importation of Muslims should be avoided at all costs. I agree that at this time, ALL Muslims should be barred from entry into the States. The U.N. certainly will do nothing to VET them and we can’t do it either. Trump is right.
