The accomplished American journalist and writer Seymour Hersh in his book 'Chain of Command' talks at length about Zacharias Moussaoui – the alleged 20th hijacker in the 9-11 plot – who is facing trial in 2006 in the United States. Moussaoui was born in France of North African parents. According to Hersh's book, a whole generation of North African youngsters like Moussaoui cannot speak Arabic – they only speak French. They see themselves as 'not existing' – either as Frenchmen or as North Africans. Sadly for them they also suffer discrimination from the French. The inevitable result is a hatred for France, and by extension, for the West. Many of them like Moussaoui become attracted to radical Islam. Islam is the only plausible identity they can endorse because it helps them get out of this feeling of being 'less than nothing'. French human rights workers describe them as chair a canon – cannon fodder – easily recruited zealots who were willing to fight, and die, for a religious cause about which they know little.
In the United Kingdom, even after 50 years of immigration many Pakistanis are still dependent on welfare handouts to survive. Large numbers of Pakistanis still live in subsidized local council flats within the British socialist system. Now many young Pakistanis are involved in street crime and beginning in the 1990s Pakistani elders were shocked that in places like Birmingham many Pakistanis are involved in the vice trade.
