Eh, I guess there are some people who ignore the socioeconomic elements, but just speaking for me, it's really more of a question of multiple contributing causes of which religious ideology is a primary one, arguably the primary one, depending on which particular case we're talking about.
So I don't think those elements are ignored or dismissed, whereas here there's a whole lot of chalking the result up to white racists wondering "where my country gone". As I sarcastically said earlier, damn, the UK must be brimming with racists.
