The Qaeda Vipers in Europe’s Bosom

Europe has been a hotbed of al Qaeda activity, even serving as a planning center for some of the militant Muslims who carried out the September 11 attacks on the US. Social conditions for Muslims in Europe are such that many Muslim immigrants feel alienated in places like Britain. Though European governments have been aggressive in arresting terrorist suspects since September 11 and have prevented attacks on European soil, they must work to eradicate the social inequalities that can lead to radicalization of young Muslims and the ensuing buildup of al Qaeda networks. – YaleGlobal
