we often get the message from Muslims that the violence is not part of their religion but violence does seem to be part of their culture and governance. Christianity also has a history of depravity fueled by hatred of a different sect (Spanish inquisition for one) but more tolerant attitudes have prevailed. A culture of forgiveness and tolerance has largely  replaced religious ignorance but the Muslim religion and Arab culture seems to be centuries behind. Tribal warfare and violent rule by dictators are still prevalent and the religion continues cultural practices rooted in the treatment of women as property.

I think that the second generation problem results more from a clash between the culture of the parents and Western society and less from the religion.
