This tweeter is obviously confused and frightened, like everyone else nervous of terrorism. He genuinely cannot conceive of how or why anyone would commit an act of terrorism over "mere" Western foreign policy which is that of bombing and invading Muslim countries after destabilising them, just because he does not feel angry about it.
He is holding two mutually incompatible thoughts in his head ie
(a) Muslims are angry, violent and evil and alien to him and
(b) Muslims should be exactly like him and not bothered by Western foreign policy
Next, he will be saying that Muslims are stupid violent fanatics who never question their faith or ideology while he consistently refuses to address his mind to the possibility that Western foreign policy might be wrong, immoral and evil and that Muslims might have good cause to be angry with Western foreign policy.
Clearly, he expects Muslims to be like him ie not be bothered, turn the page, pour themselves an alcoholic drink to forget about the injustices of the world.
If they refuse to say they are Charlie Hebdo, or say that those who routinely and deliberately give gratuitous offence to those holding religious beliefs will eventually get their comeuppance, they will be labelled as extremists, by people like him.
Why would anyone with any moral principles want to integrate into this kind of cowardly, inconsistent and hypocritical mindset, let alone a Muslim?
Is what I have described above the much-vaunted "British values" our politicians keep boasting about?

@WomenDefyUKIP I honestly think that these extremists are trying to cause worldwide confrontation so Islamaphobia isn't unwarranted really

@ntfem @WomenDefyUKIP Sorry to disagree with you but in my opinion the real enemy is the extremists in any religion, they don't like choice

@Richard_Scanlon @WomenDefyUKIP If you say YES and I say NO, who is the extremist? If the government says YES and we say NO who is?

@ntfem @WomenDefyUKIP I suppose the one who shoots innocent people and turns children into human bombs could be called extremists.

@Richard_Scanlon @WomenDefyUKIP You are conflating Muslim terrorists in France and Boko Haram with British Muslims, it seems.

@ntfem @WomenDefyUKIP You seem to be taking this issue very personally and to be choosing sides Claire so I will stop here

@Richard_Scanlon Do you not think Western foreign policy of bombing and invading Muslim countries has radicalised some Muslims in the West?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) January 19, 2015
@Richard_Scanlon Do you think it is only Muslims who object to the PC Liberalism that is imposed in the West by totalitarian legislation?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) January 19, 2015
@Richard_Scanlon Is there nothing at all a Muslim should find objectionable about Western foreign policy?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) January 19, 2015
@ntfem @WomenDefyUKIP Claire you seem to see people as a religion rather than people. Extremism is bad in any form, The terms Muslim and

@ntfem @WomenDefyUKIP when you say Muslim or Jew what are you talking about? a person or a religion.

@ntfem @WomenDefyUKIP Jews are used by the media in order to get the public attention and twist their effect in the minds of the reader.

@Richard_Scanlon @WomenDefyUKIP How am I seeing "people as a religion rather than people" and what does this mean exactly?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) January 19, 2015
@ntfem Claire; you seem to want the people who follow the Muslim way of life to be angry and I don't really understand your position
— Richard Scanlon (@Richard_Scanlon) January 19, 2015
@Richard_Scanlon If you stopped trying to to avoid my questions you would understand my position. Why don't you answer my questions?

@Richard_Scanlon What makes you think I "seem to want the people who follow the Muslim way of life to be angry"?
