    Volkan Bozkir, Turkey’s minister for European affairs, said Saturday that many Muslims living in Europe “now feel they are the other.”

    Bozkir called that the leading reason for Islamic radicalization and terrorism. He said European leaders should take action so their Muslim populations will stop feeling they are “outside the circle.”

    The Turkish official spoke at a panel discussion in Brussels sponsored by the German Marshall Fund on what should be done to counter the wave of Islamic extremism and terrorism affecting European nations and other countries.

    They have ample opportunities to assimilate in every country that they chose to migrate to however they don’t want to be a part of their adopted lands .They want to have shariah law in these countries .

    He’s almost as stupid as Obama, who said that Americans join ISIS because they are poor, when in fact most who join are the most affluent and most well educated in the USA and in the world.

    The real root of ISIS is the Muslim religion it’s self which preaches death to anyone who is not a Muslim. Death to “Infidels”.

    Even the so called “moderate Muslim’s”, never come out in full force to harshly condemn all Muslim Terrorists which justifiably could be interpreted that all Muslims agree with Terror and Murder of all of those who are not Mulsim.

    Surprising! Most major terrorist came from middle to upper class families. If leaders stop preaching and teaching hatred, maybe they will end extremism.

    Lets get this straight. When you leave your country and go to another you ARE “the other”. You don’t get to make demands or change their laws or rules. If you don’t like it, it is up to you to pick yourself up and go home! At HOME you are one and the same with all. Did you leave your own country to go out and conquer “others” to be like you?
