Muslims and the Tale of Two Continents

"Muslims and the Tale of Two Continents Although the US was a target of extremists, Europe’s less integrated Muslims provide more recruits to the terrorist cause Shada Islam YaleGlobal, 14 September 2007

BRUSSELS: Muslims in Europe are once again in the spotlight – this time because of German police foiling a terrorist plot hours after Danish authorities arrested Muslim youth for plotting attacks. These also follow a failed plot in June, to explode car bombs in central London and Glasgow International Airport. The botched attacks, following the terrorist scare at British airports in summer 2006 and suicide attacks on London's transport system in 2005, prompted British Prime Minister Gordon Brown to promise tighter border controls and resurrect controversial proposals to extend pre-charge detention times for terrorism suspects."
