Mate you don't know the first thing you are on about. I've actually lived in Muslim areas and talked to Muslims, they definitely view the world differently.
We've had decapitation, bombs, and the pre mentioned mob mentality.

This is not western values, and because of this we all have to suffer. This is just the big line stuff. The UK is turning into China and all this security is for shit like this.
Living through 9/11 and the aftermath of it, it's not Islamic Terrorism that threatens the "Western Way of Life". That only kills people and westerners are pretty good at killing each other as it it. It's letting propagandists use a tragedy to pass a bunch of freedom killing laws and increase hate and distrust. Same shit happened in Japan in 95 with the Sarin Gas Attack. Japanese right wingers use it as an opportunity to push a "return to traditional values".
The UK had widespread CCTV before islamic terrorism started to rise. That's all on you guys.
You've also probably talked to reasonable Muslims but didn't realize because they there just going on with their lives.
