We have numerous young Muslims who have — in this self-ghettoization — chosen to take up the role of “the enemy” assuming that the world is at war with them. They speak with artificial accents, dress in clothes that to them seems more “authentically Islamic” and speak with vicious, sweeping language about the Other. But their conduct so often is nothing more than a shell, a mask, worn in response to their own sense of self loathing and their own sense of being under siege within and without their communities.
