"there isn't too much lurv between our two communities at the moment"

That's one of the reasons I see Europeans as being more reluctant to confront radical islam in general. The fact that there is a sizable community within your own neighborhood that "might" be a direct threat to yourself is frightening and makes you less likely to want to antagonize them.

In the 70's there were two groups in the area where I grew up that were openly violent - one of which had radical, fundamentalist christian ties (100 %caucasian), the other a seperatist ethnic group.

It's not pleasant growing up within a community where there is little trust between neighbors. Especially during difficult economic times.

Good luck to you and your profound locale.
