When I was studying in the UK during the 80's there was a large Arab contingent in the course. Most of 'em were OK...in a distant sort of way. They kept themselves to themselves. Fine by me.
But there were a handful who, if you engaged them in conversation, would tell you (loud and proud) that their great ambition was to kill a westerner, or a jew.
YES! They would tell you so to your face! Proudly!
We used to laugh them off as nutcases.
Nobodys laughing any more.
And by the way...the course was not a purely academic one. It had to do with certain skills that - shall I say - could be easily turned to violent effect. And have been.
