I should go to bed now.

[Duque de Bragança]

Compañero is more like partner, mate or companion than comrade which exists in Spanish as camarada as well.

Your Sefaradi-Judeo-Castillian connection is getting weaker and weaker, compañero. 

Whoa, whoa, slow down. My command of the Iberian languages is unmatched even in the Academia Real.
Companero and camarado are synonyms.
And so is companera and camarada, in the female gender.

Companero  camarado (sic) do not exist, I'll concede that the ñ is too hard to type for you but not camarado (sic).

Real Academia not Academia Real  Btw, they only deal with Castillian, not other Iberian languages.
As for being synonyms, perfect synonyms are quite rare e.g compare, according to the Real Academia

Exec sum, you suck at languages, maybe it's the first step to becoming a real American for you, much to the chagrin of Comte Largent. I never thought Chineses spies would suck that much
You're like Grey Fox now, but he does not spy at least.

I don't recall Duque de Bragança being so feisty previously

Christians from the Middle East live in large numbers in Sweden. And yet people who make satirical Jesus-drawings and similar don't routinely face violence and death. So I hardly think poverty and ghetto living make terrorist acts happen.

While your immigrant community may not be in the best economic or social situation, I would guess (and I'll admit it's just a guess) that they are getting a better deal from Sweden than France's immigrant community gets from France.

Sweden is one big welfare state, isn't it.?

What does it matter? Swedish Muslims attack and attempt to murder Swedish cartoonists who draw Mohammed.

Edit: Dammit!

The issue, though, is not poverty alone (or even poverty plus living in a ghetto) - it is poverty plus a sense of seperation from and antagonism with the majority society, that makes for a population more willing to listen to ideological radicals.

This doesn't explain the Saudi 9/11 hijackers, or Osama bin Laden.

It seems like alienation is a pretty good explanation for those guys as well, though, even if did not spring from the ghettos.

Psst, Siege-- use compay and see what he does with that.

He got tired of Malthus constantly putting down the French.

Why does Malthus hate French-speakers so much?

I don't know about that.  Where exactly did they get alienated?  It wasn't in US, they already came to US with a mission.

Osama was the ideologue, a leader of a movement - the issue is where the movement gets popular support from.

Also, obviously, not every terrorist is going to fit the "disaffected population in the West itself" profile. Osama and his Saudis were pissed off mostly by Western effects on the ME (where they originated from).

Dissafected Western Muslims is one source of support; pissed off traditional Muslims already in the ME is another. The first is more worrying, even if the second was more responsible for 9/11.

It's reasonable to ask whether France has a particular problem with the former as well given that polls show 16% support for ISIS in France, increasing to 27% among the young. If it does, what are the causes.

I'm fairly sure 'insufficient secularism' is low on the list.
