Surely it is their religion which differentiates them from other citizens of the UK, who were also born here.
I think that a start to integration would be if they thought of themselves as primarily British and not a group who are different to the rest of us. Our whole indiginous population is a mix of many people from different countries.
A final comment. The Moslem peoples should stand up and accept their responsibility for their terrorists. To hear their leaders whining that the UK's foreign policy is responsible is a total cop out. If every dis-affected group in the UK started to commit acts of violence it would result in total anarchy. I don't agree with our presence in Afghanistan or Iraq, but it doesn't make me want to blow up my fellow countrymen and women. I would rather change things by democratic means.
Thanks
