#1 2nd and 3rd generation home ground terrorists.

Could be a problem in the U.S. too since assimilation into Western society and adoption of its values doesn't seem to occur readily. Instead muslims transport their culture to the Canada and the U.S. and live isolated in their own communities with their own customs. Westerners are not invited into this culture. That we don't understand them is understandable. They then yell that we don't understand them and we are islamophobic. Islamaphobia is the catchall bogus term for "victimhood." Muslims are going to have to do a lot to change this. It is not incumbent upon us to just accept this culture in view of terrorism against the West history--with questions asked by Westerners and no questions answered by Muslims.

#3 The thing is, we don't hear much from those who have assimilated into Western society and aren't interested in causing trouble... or who just aren't interested in causing trouble. And we hear plenty from those who find it rewarding to wage the soft jihad of the the law.

#4 we don't hear much from those who have assimilated into Western society and aren't interested in causing trouble

Indeed. The silence is deafening. Remember all those vain post-9/11 hopes for "moderate muslims" to rise up, make themselves heard, condemn the islamists? It's going on a decade now, and all we hear are ... crickets.

#6 I think in the case of muslims who are assimilated and making a good living in North America, a whackjob extremist family member is something they really don't want. Hopefully, they dime them out to FBI...

#7 Thanks, anon1. There is an organization in Toronto that's been speaking up -- several of the leaders have gotten death threats, and a number of individuals who are on the speaking circuit. The Lackawanna Six were turned in by family members and the head of the mosque congregation, if I recall correctly... and recently those two nice young gentlemen in Philadelphia (?) were turned in by one of the fathers, who was furious.

A big part of the problem is that the U.S. government and the media listen to CAIR and Imam Rauf, and not those truly speaking against the jihadis.

#8 Muslim assimilation is indeed rare in the West.
As rare as Christian churches in Iran & Saudi Arabia.
There are two kinds of muslims really.
1) Terrorists
and
2)Terrorist enablers

Over 80% of the mosques in America are Wahabbi run or controlled.
According to the FBI.
Very hard to penetrate from a cultural or religious point of view.

#9 Raymond Boisvert, CSIS assistant director, said investigators want to understand each suspects path to radicalization

What a load of bullshit!! There's only one thing they need to understand and that is that Islam is a cult headed up by a psychopath and needs to be eradicated! Monitor the fucking mosques and when they find one that preaches jihad, close it down then burn it!!

#12 We won't know the truth for 50 years at best. However, numerous conspiracies have been foiled by the authorities over the last 10 years. I doubt that it is because the NSA, CIA and FBI have seamlessly coordinated their efforts with the innumerable police forces in the country, let alone each other. In at least 1 case it was because an immediate family member dropped the dime on the nut. If there is cooperation going on, it is in no one's interest to publicize it. The absence of any successful activities by any but lone nutters indicates to me that there has been cooperation.

Now the imported imams from SA, Pak, et. al. are another story.
