I hear there's a fortune to be made in contraband and arms at the moment, perhaps you should opt in?
I jest, I jest. I don't think you're limited to any of the options you presented in the extreme. You don't have to hate yourself or your heritage for what others who share that heritage have done or may be doing. You can hold alot of ground at once if you're willing to move the place you're holding it at. If your community reminds you very much of a sinking ship there is no battle to be fought over it. Those that wish to go to the bottom with it will, all you need to do is ensure that you aren't one of them. You always have to look out for yourself, but that doesn't mean that you only look out for yourself.
Heres the question, the problems you mentioned are pervasive, regional all the way down to the community level. What -can- you do?
(if Europe's history with religiously steeped politics is any indicator, it's going to run it's course regardless. Perhaps it'll run its course faster now that troops and information move much more swiftly.)

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
