Do they feel closer to their bloodlines than the country they're from? If so, why?
Would this happen to other Canadians? Would Chinese-Canadians, or European-Canadians, or any other form, act in the same manner if the West and their respective country were involved in a conflict?

IMO, religion is what makes it happen. Islam is a way of life, greater than any societal standard that we as North Americans can provide. As long as Islam still teaches their people that the west has humiliated the followers of the religion, and the west deserves to be punished, these things will continue to happen. Education must begin in the mosque, not in the school. Over zealous religious leaders need to be moderated and brought back to the center on religious values. That goes for both Islamic, Jewish and Christian religious leaders. There are "nut jobs" in every religion and they are poisoning the minds of their followers each day. Its not just an Islamic problem, it transcends theological borders. The vast majority of terrorist actions that have taken place in America have been directed by the radical Christian right. All religions can taint the minds of people if the message is twisted into one of hatred.
