Radicalization of Muslim Immigrants in Europe and Russia

چکیده
In the second half of the 1990s, Islamist terrorism emerged as a serious security threat to both Europe and Russia. For Europe, in contrast to the United States, Islamist terrorism became an increasingly domestic threat, stemming from cells formed primarily by Muslim firstand second-generation migrants. In Russia, the radicalization of an internal armed conflict in the North Caucasus was the main driver of Islamist terrorism. At the same time, Muslims in both Europe and Russia are ethnically diverse and do not compose unified communities. Only a miniscule minority out of millions represents a security risk.
