Muslims in London.(International Edition; Mail Call)(Letter to the editor)

Readers responding to our March 23 story "Jihad Chic Comes to London" were wary of Muslims in the West. One said, "Muslims want to transform Europe into Eurabia." Another said that traditional beliefs are OK, but "it is the 'blood and chaos and hatred' that make Taliban jihadism a problem."

A Better Life, but No Assimilation

I still cannot understand why Muslims flee their native lands seeking a better life in Britain or any other Western nation, only to want to turn these countries into clones of the failed states they just left ("Jihad Chic Comes to London," March 23). The only rational explanation is that instead of assimilating into their adoptive homes, these radicalized Muslims simply want to spread their fundamentalist brand of Islam and transform Europe into Eurabia. Shame on the politically correct politicians, appeasers and journalists who sit idly by and allow these radical Muslims to do what the Nazis ultimately could not:abring the West to its knees.

As an observant Jew who attends Yeshiva University, an institution that embodies traditional teachings and imparts them to its students, I feel strongly that there is a difference between a religion's traditionalism and violent extremism. To avoid "touching a woman's hand" may be traditional, but it is the "blood and chaos and hatred" that make the "intolerance and brutality" of Taliban jihadism a problem. I may be a traditionalist, but I most certainly am not a violent extremist.
