Interesting

As a Geography major I am always interested in how places change and the influence of, in this case, minorities shapes the place.
The article below is a very interesting read on rise of islamist terrorism coming out of the UK. It is very interesting particularly because of the relationship UK has had with other countries.

What else is interesting is how 2nd generation immigrants are taking on - what seems like - their 'culture' from outside of the culture their parents have worked so hard to create and live-in.

As an Anthropologist this is a very interesting phenomena that is changing a society very much from within but also, at the same time, from outside.

How does it relate to NA? Well we are also immigrant societies and sooner or later this phenomena could very well hit our shores. There is a thing or two to be learned from Britian.

If nothing - it is just an interesting read.

"Londonistan Calling - The London neighborhood of the author's youth, Finsbury Park, is now one of the breeding grounds for a new phenomenon: the British jihadist. How did a nation move from cricket and fish-and-chips to burkas and shoe-bombers in a single generation?"
