Only a few of them...we have our own Christian version in our town and no doubt other towns have the same Logan clone.
Newspapers jump on the small number of British born jihadists, like they jump on the small number of NHS cock-ups and small number of care home abuse cases, using banner headlines to whip up controversy, ignoring the good stuff, like the Muslim run food bank in Blackburn and the excellent care provided by the majority of local nurses and carers.
Even though you are an educated woman who has been around the block a few times, who knows the value of diversity and knows that you can't lump everyone under a single label....you just did.
I'd argue that it's an emotive subject and sometimes our emotions get in the way of reason....
