If Britain and all other 'foreign' countries were to pull all their troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq immediately would the all vociferous Muslim extremists in this country stop preaching hatred and become peaceable British citizens ?

This is a serious question, not an attempt to evoke anti-muslim comments.

Why did Muslims attack the twin towers?

"As Allah is my witness, we had not considered attacking the towers, but things reached the breaking point when we witnessed the injustice and tyranny of the American-Israeli coalition against our people in Palestine and Lebanon; then I got this idea" ,Osama bin Laden, video "Message to American people" broadcast 29/10/2004 by al Jazeera, translated and transcribed by the broadcaster. Over the years, bin Laden gave various reasons both vague and precise for waging war on the West, but in that video he did give a reason, if a broad one, for that particular attack.

... and that sort of extremist thinking wouldn't change, if the troops came out of Afhganistan and Iraq.

There was a time when much of Islam was seen by the British as a band of Fuzzy Wuzzies led by the Mad Mullah. Little seems to have changed.
The West has been meddling in their world for a very long time. It will take an equally long time for their feeling of hurt and resentment to subside.

much like ours over the bombings in the capital, that was an action that has seen many ordinary folk wondering what they are dealing with.

and not just here in the capital, through UK, and across Europe and America.

We could all pull out tomorrow if we wished. We have the new form of warfare in unmanned drones and with the help of a few muslim squealers could obliterate any leaders.
