Lorenzo Vidino in the Counterterrorism Blog reports on a Spanish news story:
Today the Spanish newspaper El Periodico published an interesting report based on extensive interviews with Spanish counterterrorism officials. According to the report, each month an average of 3 Spanish Muslims are recruited by jihadi networks either for suicide bombings in Iraq or for training in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Yemen and Somalia....What has changed over the last few months is the profile of the average recruits. While in the past they were mostly recent immigrants to Spain (immigration is indeed a recent phenomenon to Spain, having started on a large scale only in the early 1990s, coinciding with the economic boom), today's recruits tend to be mostly second-generation immigrants (mainly of Moroccan descent) and as young as 13. This confirms the trend seen in most European countries, where, unlike 5 years ago, the majority of individuals involved in jihadist activities are European-born.
Viva Zapatero!!!!!!
With no Muslims allowed to practice their 'Religion' (read Sedition) in our domain, that number would ineluctably be reduced to ZERO and would never go up again.
In addition, no more siphoning off of our precious resources to support the metasticizing tumor of foul minded Muslims in our midst... far less consternation at our airports and on our trains. No more worries of entering our towers of capitalism, no more cynical indictments of us by Muslims for our intolerance and bigotry. Let them wallow in their hatred in their Muslim shit hole of choice -- let them vent their rage and anger at us or whomever they wish --
When they are expulsed, there will be very little danger that the Muslim filth could cause us much harm in any way...
Eject Muslims and Islam NOW!
well Spain's facist communist PM thought by leaving Irag would keep them safe from muslim terrorist, yeah.. it will not stop muslim killers from acting they way they are intended to, infact they know the spanish are easy pickins!
ZenaWarriorPrincess I agree, wholeheartedly that the Islamic World didn't give any consideration to Spain when the new PM pulled troops from Iraq, except to think of the Spaniards as weak and cowardly. Now Spain will inevitably learn the hard way, what it means to back down from the Jihadists.
Spains actions in Iraq have indeed identified it as a push over country for the terrorists. Spain is doomed to die if it does not fight back.
