British subtle racism is probably more of what fuels this anger....It seems worse there because they are closer to the Islamic Extremists. If the U.S. was in Europe, we would be getting bombed daily.

I have come to believe that Islamic extremism doesn't need to be fueled by much of anything.
They riot and murder over speeches by the Pope, books about their beliefs, and, recently, when rationing was initiated on gasoline in Iran - they rioted, burned 19 gas stations and plundered and pretty much destroyed several others.
The Hispanic population in this country, unfortunately, is viewed by many as the arrogant few who demonstrate and generally denounce America - preach unreasonable demands and have no intention of ever becoming legal citizens. Opposing this type of invasion is not racism - it's common sense.
And, yes, our essentially open border policies of the past and greedy, unscrupulous employers along with very lax enforcement of our laws have perpetuated this problem. We are not without blame.
I hope our representatives will knuckle down and come up with a viable solution rather than act like a bunch of spoiled kids who have been spanked by their constituents.

The Hispanic population are our next door neighbors and we have a lot in common. I just think the British are quite fine with their ways and the Muslims are heavily into their ways, so they just don't mix.
Hooray for NORWAY!!!

Check out the Waris Dirie Foundation online Waris is a woman who went through that. FGM as a little girl.
I'm surprised Europe hasn't seen much more violence than it has, and I don't blame English racism. They might be a bit racist, but the Muslims are seriously sexist. Poor girls and gays and lesbians and infidels in those countries. Muslims are more or less tolerated, if not appreciated, in Europe, so that's not exactly what I call racism.

NO! If the British were racist the Muslims would not be allowed in to begin with. They are some of the most tolerant people on earth but are tired of putting up with the same politically correct crap that we have to here.
Don't be fooled by Islamic rhetoric. They need no encouragement to attack innocent people. They hate the West, and all it implies.

Yes, but it's still not an excuse to retaliate with violence. Racism in response to other racism is still not right. Everyone has been wronged by another race in the past. British is the most wide spread in the last century, but everyone has done their share. THe Mexicans has mrudered their share of Indians. THey nearly wiped out the ones in California and recently tried to wipe out the ones in CHiapas. US has dirty hands in Enslaving alot of people. THe last was the coolies they kidnapped from China and sold to the British to ofset the Indian population. China hads its war against the Vietnamese and Burma., and pushed the THai and malay people out of their country. Japan enslaved the Korean and had death camps in WW2. Korean forced Japan to pay a tribute before that also. If we don't stop the hate, it keeps growing.
As for Negligence for not defending our orders. Lets say you forgot to close your window. Is it OK for me to enter the window and steal from you and when I got caught , is it ok if I keep allthe stuff I stole from YOu. Because we do not perform everything possible to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in, it does not justify them coming here. We did more than the minimum to tell them to stay out. And it's just as much as American Racism as it is Mexican racism. To pick and choose from both cultures to what is most convenient for them is abusing cultural difference and is a form of cultural racism. Creating a favorable environment for one culture above the other is text book definition of racism.

No. Racism is a word used to create News. An as for Extremism, I have another view: ANY Religion that attacks innocent women and children, is not a Religion, but those who worship a false god, or a demon posing as a god. And in that, ALL peaceful religions should declare WAR on them, eradicating them forever. Those who proclaim they are fighting for the Jihad, are not men, but cowards, for REAL men fight those who can fight them back, not those who do not fight.

NO.
The Muslims do not want to assimilate.
They want to change the social norms of the European society.
Read this from Norway... and be thankful that you do not have to deal with this.
NORWAY took steps on yesterday to crack down on circumcision of girls by barring families from traveling abroad if officials suspect they plan to have the procedure done outside the country.
The intervention followed reports in Norwegian media that at least 185 girls from Norway - daughters of immigrants - had their genitals cut in just one village in Somalia.
The Government said it would refuse passports to families suspected of sending girls abroad to have the procedure carried out. Authorities can also forbid a family from traveling if they suspect the purpose is female circumcision, officials said.

No doubt. People forget that Britian actually makes the US look racially tolerant. The muslims are given no chance to assimilate in the UK.
