Previous jihad epicenters, in Bosnia, Afghanistan, and Iraq, all attracted foreign jihadis from the world over. However, the number of Muslims from Western countries going to Syria and Iraq to wage jihad for the Islamic State seems to be larger than the number that ever went to join al-Qaeda. That is probably because of the attraction of waging jihad for the caliphate, and participating in the restoration of the supranational unity of the Muslims.
“11 pro-jihad Milan residents probed,” ANSA, September 4, 2014 (thanks to Insubria):
(ANSA) – Milan, September 4 – Eleven people resident in and around Milan including an electrician who went to fight in Syria two years ago and other Syrians have been under investigation in a probe into international terrorism for two years, judicial sources said Thursday.
Coolio says
It’s probably the attraction of joining such a big hard gang rape gang that includes little girls as its victims.

“Italy: 11 Muslims investigated for jihad activities, waging jihad in Syria”…that is what we call the tip of the iceberg!
The terror mosque recruiting centers throughout the world all pumping out jihadists at an alarming rate. This problem is much much bigger than any of our leaders in America, UK, and the West would dare to admit. People that would do us harm and kill our families and friends work for every airline and are employed at every level of indusrty and government. They have permeated our cultures and are in position to strike, They would turn our homelands into another one of their wretched hives!

11 people (?)– two years to investigate?
Somethign seems wrong.
Especially AT LEAST ONE ( the elctrician) ( as per the article) is known to have been in Syria.
Is Peter Sellers or his alter ego leading the investigation?
or is it a government job– a job for life- to investigate these 11– and ignore everything else?
