That's worldwide.... I would think and hope that the Muslims in this country born and bred are a lot more civilised and the percentage would be a lot higher.

Now I understand what you meant. Just didn't understand it initially. I'm obliged for your clarification.

I'm amazed you didn't understand that...

Considering that it is estimated that more than 600 British citizens have signed up to fight with ISIS.. I believe that there is some real cause for concern there.
I believe that 100 US citizens have been identified as having joined..
What to do... What to do?????
