Feds: Detroit area not more likely to feed ISIS ranks
[The Detroit News] The FBI and federal prosecutors in Detroit say the risk of area residents joining the Islamic State militants is not amplified by the region's large Muslim population, but they are concerned about recruitment efforts.

Federal agents are actively monitoring the threat locally and have encouraged community, religious and civil rights leaders to help discourage people from traveling overseas to train with the Islamic State group and returning to wage terror in Metro Detroit....The extremist group's threat is not more acute in Metro Detroit, which has about 250,000 Muslims, particularly in Dearborn, U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade told The Detroit News.

"It's not necessarily Arabs and Muslims that are answering the call. It's converts," McQuade said in an exclusive interview.
converts to Presbyterianism - them's the worst kind.
Perhaps it is meant to be interpreted literally.

Let us note that "not more likely" is not the same as "unlikely". It's all very lawyerly.
