Something vaguely interesting in the wake of recent terrorist attacks.

Sort-of what happened to Kosovo. Once the heart of Serbia.

Basically, yes. But nobody wants to face up to the fact that a society will alter irrevocably (and for the worse) if you shift the demographics in favour of a particular cultural or religious group. The fantasy has always been that an Eritrean or an Afghan in Britain will magically become British, whereas in fact all that will happen is that, if there are enough of them, they will fundamentally alter what 'Britain' or 'British' means.

This sort of wishful thinking is bizarre. If an Englishman lives in China, does anyone in their right mind think he'll become Chinese? Of course not.
