From [1] The Washington Times, :

The terrorist groups Hamas and Lebanon-based Hezbollah have opened offices in Iraq and are recruiting young men in the cities of Basra and Nasariyah, says the executive director of the American Islamic Congress.

"They have been recruiting young people. They pay them a little money and teach them their ideology," said Zainab al-Suwaij, who has been in Iraq for 10 months and travels in the country extensively under a U.S. Agency for International Development education contract.

But surely the vast majority of moderate Muslims will overwhelm these extremists with [2] the peaceful teachings of the Qur'an, and doom their recruitment efforts to failure, right?
