However, it should be noted that western countries encourage behaviors that leads to extremism. No, I don't condone it. But, I will share my belief and opinion on this matter, when I say encourage this type of behavior. Instead of accepting people as people, western countries divide people into classifications. For instance, one thing what we don't do is follow Canada's lead as calling all Americans just that, Americans. There is always a hyphen to say Mexican American, African American, but, when it comes to Europeans, it's British National or German National...on the news, or at least until recently, to describe a white male suspect, the news will just say, 'the suspect is described as tall or short...'without ever saying a white male, assuming everyone will know the suspect was white. When it comes to jobs, it is almost always decided by race and gender instead of qualifications. Pay is also almost always decided by race and gender. Sometimes where you live is decided on race - some apartments or real estate agents will not assist you if you are a certain minority group, or from a minority group. It is a known fact of racial profiling with law enforcement. Look at the jail and prison system! It is more black and latino locked up. Oh, please don't say, well that blacks and latinos get in more trouble. Especially with the favorable treatment of Lindsay Lohan being paraded on the news and no real hard punishment, but taxpayers punished by having pay all of the costs associated with this circus. BTW, I will just throw this curve ball. Explain why no one ever talks about the Chinese communities. What I mean by this is, they have their own private schools, shopping strip malls, and communities. It's hard to get a real estate agent, which is usually Chinese, to sell you a property in the areas that are predominantly Chinese. So again, I don't think it has anything to do with just whites, blacks, and the jewish people. I think it really has to do with people not being accepted as people and who they are. In western countries, we tend to think it's okay to want people to be a certain weight. Interesting, because I've met men from Latin America and Africa who thought I was skinny. Then on the other side of this, western countries, people are so obsessed with looks/appearance when they lack inner beauty, virtues, morals. To explain this, i.e. Dennis Rodman, Bill Gates, to name a few, the most beautiful women would have never dated them before they were famous, rich. But now, the most beautiful women would most definitely chase them for the money. I wait for your response! Lex,
in a sense you are right. However, it should be noted that western countries encourage behaviors that leads to extremism. No, I don’t condone it. But, I will share my belief and opinion on this matter, when I say encourage this type of behavior.

During the terrorist insurrection in Kosovo, many Albanian Americans went over there as mercenaries(there's a book on the subject called Remember you Have Brothers Across the Sea or something like that). Typically fighting in a foreign army means the loss of your citizenship, except when the State department looks the other way. As usual, one man's "terrorist" is another man's "freedom fighter".
