Generation Jihad
Rootless and restive, young Muslims in Europe are increasingly turning to religious extremism.
An inside look at the threat of homegrown militants.
By BILL POWELL Time magazine
[1]……But among Europeans, the suicide bombings in London on July 7 of this year, which were carried out by four British citizens, shattered any lingering illusions that the threat can be kept from their shores. In a videotaped message released last week on al-Jazeera, Osama bin Laden's deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, claimed responsibility for the Londo
n attacks-the first public acknowledgment that the bombers may have received support and assistance from al- Qaeda operatives. In Europe the message was a chilling reminder that the enemy is within. Jihadist networks are increasingly drawing on a pool of young Muslims living in cities all over Europe-including many who were born and raised in the a
ffluence and openness of the West, products of the very democracies they are determined to attack.
[2] Call it Generation Jihad-restive, rootless young Muslims who have spent their lives in Europe but now find themselves alienated from their societies and the policies of their governments. While the precise number of European jihadists is impossible to pinpoint, counterterrorism officials believe the pool of radicals is growing. Since 1990, the
Muslim population in Europe has expanded from an estimated 10 million to 14 million. A 2004 estimate by the intelligence unit of French police found that about 150 of the country's indexed 1,600 mosques and prayer halls were under the control of extremist elements. In the Netherlands, home to 1 million Muslims, a spokesman for the Dutch intelligenc
e service says it believes as many as 20 different hard-line Islamic groups may be operating in the country. In London, authorities say, as many as 3,000 veterans of al-Qaeda training camps over the years were born or based in Britain.
