...there and become a jihadi. It doesn't work that way," he says. "Here in Pakistan their commitment to radicalism will be reinforced, but the germs are already in place." It is back in the U.K. that such visitors are provided with contacts and introductions to terrorist cells or extremist groups in Pakistan, who can increase their own level of militancy and training. "Even if I knew where to find them, it's not like I could just show up at the door of one of these terrorist cells and ask for a course in making a bomb. I would...
...Angelides appears to be heeding advice from party strategists about how to counter the gains Schwarzenegger has reaped from his recent shift to the political center. Last fall, voters had tagged the Governor as too extremist and rejected several of his special-election ballot proposals.

Although the British Muslim community, 1.6 million strong, is not the largest in Europe, it plays host, says French terrorism analyst Roland Jacquard, to "arguably the largest number of radicalized young men." Polls bear out that conclusion. In a survey for Britain's Channel 4 this year, no less than 22% of Muslims agreed with the proposition that the subway bombings were justified because of "British support for the war on terror." Those under 24 were twice as likely...
