Many young Brit Pakistanis are extremely radicalised - much more so than any other ethnic group in the UK imho.

Some integrate very well, but the constant links back to Pakistan for marriage, education etc seem to drag many of them down that path. Equally, lots of them dont aspire to the same life as their parents or come from socially deprived areas, where there used to be factory work. Add some radical preaching and you have a nice pool of jihadis.

There very often seems to be a real racist element in them (please note, I am saying some not all) which is directed at Somali and Bangladeshi co-religionists as much as it is at white people, Indians or black people. (I am not arguing that they have a monopoly on racism either).
