Where does your loyalty lie.

As we are fed a diet of information on all aspects of a society, one often hears the attempt by the Establishment to brush real issues aside in the concern that the so called homogeneity they struggle to establish, is based on shifting sand.
As individuals, we are not a group but a separate identity . We chose to join what ever seems interesting, what ever catches our eye. We evaluate our choice, over time, with perhaps an eye to becoming more   involved in the future.
The only situation where this is not the case is when we concern ourselves with religious matters.
Religion is taught from a very early age and the seeds of its message and the ramifications of rejection make a big impact on the developing mind.
In the latest thrust from the intellectual, moderate, side of British Muslim Society there has been a shift of emphasis, from a reticent "unknowing", to a more aggressive "you have brought this on your own head" dialogue. 
The argument put forward is that the young "Jihadists" are the result of British/American Foreign Policy towards Muslim countries and that it is natural for those of their faith to wish to respond to the evils done to the Muslim people anywhere on the globe.
There you have it in a nutshell.
The National convent is trumped by a religious belief and whilst we tie ourselves in knots regarding citizenship and the European Conventions which we are signed for but count for nothing when the religious ties are in contention. The term "brotherhood" binds people, irrespective of the birth right.
To the Parliamentarians and Legislators who are faced with a religious layer of on top of any Monarchy/ Presidential hierarchy, and have to deal with people who have little allegiance to "earth bound" concepts of democracy or representation through the ballot box. Who now face a more geographically divergent people ruled by rules laid down in the Quran.
Lay your hand on one Muslim believer and you lay your hand on all those who follow the Prophet.
It is this frightening prospect with the exponential growth of people choosing an affirmation revealed through faith to the dissembling prospect of any sort of collective humanitarianism in a world governed by American hegemony  based on, winner takes all !!!
