Why Westernized Muslims Become 'Radicalized'

Articles: Why Westernized Muslims Become 'Radicalized':
"A new Danish statistical study finds that “Muslims [are] 218 percent more criminal in second generation than first.” 
While some of these crimes are clearly related to Islam – such as attackson Muslim apostates to Christianity – others, such as rampant theft against non-Muslims, would appear banal, until one realizes that even robbery and plunder are justified by Islamic doctrine– as one U.K. Muslim cleric onceclearly said.

The interesting question here is why second-generation Muslims, who are presumably more Westernized than their Muslim parents, are also more “radical.”
Lest one dismiss this phenomenon as a product of economics or some other “grievance” against European host nations, the fact is, even in America, where Muslims are much better assimilated than in Europe, young Muslims are turning to “radicalism.” "
....After all, the mainstream position evoked by most politicians maintains that all U.S. sacrifices in the Muslim world (Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.) will pay off once Muslims discover how wonderful Western ways are, and happily slough off their “Islamist” veneer, which, as the theory goes, is a product of – you guessed it – a lack of democracy, liberty, prosperity, and freedom of expression.
.....Yet here are American and European Muslims, immersed in the bounties of the West, and still do they turn to violent jihad.
 Why think their counterparts, who are born and raised in the Muslim world, where Islam permeates every aspect of life, will respond differently?
