Cultural (Dis)Integration

Is this the society we've created, with all the anti-immigrant rhetoric and Cameron's claims that multiculturalism isn't working?  A society where some immigrants think the only way to be accepted and integrated in British culture is to murder other immigrants from less 'popular' cultures?  Because that's what today's arrest of a Ukrainian student on a work placement for the murder of an 82 year old  Muslim man and the bombing of several Mosques in the Midlands seems to indicate.  OK, I know Ukraine has its fair share of right-wing extremists, but you have to ask, why come to the UK to terrorise Muslims?   He could surely do that just as easily at home.  Probably with less risk of arrest.  One can't help but suspect that, upon learning he was to come to the UK and, having seen the hostility directed toward 'those East Europeans' by various sections of the media, not to mention the government's own campaign to discourage Bulgarians from coming to the UK, he asked himself, how best can I integrate myself with the average British bigot?

Presumably he then asked himself, according to the British media, which immigrant population do they hate even more than people from Eastern Europe?  Obviously: Muslims.  They worship some whacky pagan god, have some travesty of the Bible as their Holy text - which, incidentally, tells them to hate all white people and murder off-duty soldiers in the street - groom white girls for vice rings and wipe their arses with pictures of the Queen, (but only when a Union Jack is unavailable).  At least, that's what the press and various right-wing organisations would have you believe.  Is it any wonder some recently-arrived student from the former Soviet Union might think that by attacking Muslims he might ingratiate himself with the inhabitants of these increasingly shitty isles?  Once again, welcome to Cameron's Britain!
