When the terrorist incidents occurred in the United Kingdom a couple of years ago, I think even though they didn't claim as many lives as we lost in the United States on 9/11, I think the thing that troubled the British most was that the perpetrators were not invaders, but homegrown citizens whose religious and political identities were more important to them than the people they grew up with, went to school with, worked with, shared weekends with, shared meals with.
Quando aconteceram os incidentes terroristas na Inglaterra, há dois anos atrás, eu pensei que embora eles não tenham tirado tantas vidas quanto as do 11 de setembro nos EUA eu pensei que o que mais incomodou os britânicos foi que os infratores não eram invasores, mas cidadãos que cresceram lá cujas identidades religiosas e políticas foram mais importantes para eles do que as pessoas com quem cresceram, foram à escola, trabalharam, passaram finais de semana, compartilharam refeições.
