The ones I was talking about were here mostly to learn English...or in one case, to chaperone his daughter who was learning English ( that Saudi Father ended up stabbing his daughter to death on a street in my seaside town a couple of years ago ). He was judged to be schizophrenic ....but had become angry when he thought his late teenage daughter had been seeing a man.
The other definitely muslim related stabbing was about six years ago when one of my students ( Spanish) was killed and decapitated by a converted muslim ( American...but converted at university in London ). He was judged to be schizophrenic and incarcerated in Broadmoor Prison.....no mention was made in the newspapers about his constant praying to allah or that he was a muslim.....my students told me.
Everything hasn't fallen apart in all muslim countries and many come to the UK to study or to "grow up". Their families send them.Many like the freedom and would stay if they could....or if they didn't miss their families too much. Some find clever excuses to stay....they are gay ( when they aren't really )or some other invented story.
A guy who runs people over on purpose is a fanatic.
