PBS did a story on European Immigrants and their children's inclination to radicalize. The same trend could be true here: LINK
Failure to assimilate and disenfranchisement are consistent themes. Unfortunately a lot of anti-muslim and anti-Islam narrative, no matter how logical they are are fueling these. The ultimate solution is for the communities to police themselves ie. develop shaming for giving immigrant, the religion, the community a bad name. I have very faint hope that's what the CIC is trying to do.

At local level (with potential strategic impact), there are several muslim students from Islamic countries in the Q course right now. Would what they perceive from the classmates and SOF community reinforce what the radicals/fanatics are telling them about "infidels" ?
