Didnt catch her name but she just wrote a book called ISIS Rising. She makes the point that there are ISIS sympathizers throughout the world who are home-grown. These sympathizers, who fit in and know their respective cities, make the best terrorists as they don't stick out.

This will lead to anger in both the local and migrant populations and cause civil disturbances and worse. There will also be a ready pool of disgruntled migrants for the extremists to recruit from. Just look at what's happening in France, Germany and Sweden already.

(18,184 posts)The camps have attracted migrants from all over Asia and Africa (or less likely but possible is that they are fleeing jhadis, as the Isis freaks are recruited from all over the world).
Also, once they move away from the first safe country of refuge, they are classed as migrants.
The refugees are moving away from Turkey, Greece, Hungary etc. because they want the better government benefits and job prospects in Germany and Sweden.
