“–Asked which foreign leader they most admire, almost 70 percent name an Islamist or a supporter of that movement’s forces: Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan (20), Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez (13), Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (12), Hizballah’s Hassan Nasrallah (9), Syrian President Bashar al-Assad (7), Usama bin Ladin (6), and the late Iraqi President Saddam Hussein (2).
No relatively moderate Arab leader has any significant international following. And note that two non-Arab Middle Easterners (Erdogan and Ahmadinejad) score so high, showing a decline in Arab nationalism that would have been unthinkable during the 1950-2000 era.”
“To ud af tre briter mener, at religionen islam opfordrer til kvindeundertrykkelse. Samtidig forbinder hver anden islam til ekstremisme og terrorisme. Det viser en ny online-undersøgelse fra YouGov blandt mere end 2.100 voksne i Storbritannien.

Første halvår af 2009 har tysk politi registreret 40 muslimer, som har rejst til terroristlejre i udlandet. Det er en fordobling i forhold til 2008. Mest skræmmende: De bliver ikke i udlandet for at kæmpe – de kommer tilbage til Europa igen…
“Berlin – The flow of radical Islamists from Germany to training camps in Pakistan has doubled this year, the newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung reported Sunday without naming any source.
German police monitor the so-called homegrown terrorists, mainly from the Turkish and Arab immigrant communities, who volunteer to fight on the Islamist side in Pakistan or Afghanistan.
“
This year we have so far logged 40 Pakistan-bound departures among the
German Islamist crowd,” a senior
German security official was quoted saying. In the corresponding months of last year, only half as many departed for training.
The men commonly used flights via Syria, Egypt or Turkey. Many returned home to Germany after spending time in the camps.
Security forces forecast earlier this month that terrorists might try to unnerve the
German public in the run-up to the September 27 general election, with the intention of obtaining a
German military withdrawal from Afghanistan. (dpa)”
“WASHINGTON — An unreleased Pentagon report provides new details concluding that about one in seven of the 534 prisoners already transferred abroad from the prison in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, has returned to terrorism or militant activity, according to administration officials.”
“Sidste år søgte godt 383.000 personer asyl i 51 industrialiserede lande. Det er 12 procent flere end i 2007, og irakerne er den største nationalitet, skønt 10 procent færre irakere søgte asyl sidste år.
Det viser foreløbige tal fra FN’s Flygtningshøjkommissariat, UNHCR. Efter Irak med 40.500 asylsøgere følger Somalia med 21.800, Rusland med 20.500, Afghanistan med 18.500 og Kina med 17.400. Sidste år kom der især flere asylsøgere fra Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, Somalia, Nigeria og Sri Lanka.
Det forjættede land
USA er stadig asylsøgeres forjættede land med 49.000 ansøgere i 2008. Herefter følger Canada med 36.900, Frankrig med 35.200, Italien med 31.200 og Storbritannien med30.500. Skønt USA er favorit, har landet kun én asylsøger pr. 1.000 indbyggere mod EU-landenes gennemsnit på 2,4 asylsøgere pr. 1000 indbyggere.
Mens irakere i 2004 søgte asyl i syv ilande, søgte de sidste år i 14 – dobbelt så mange lande. Det kan ifølge UNHCR skyldes strammere asylpolitik i traditionelle asyllande. I Sverige søgte to tredjedele færre irakere asyl i 2008 end i 2007 som følge af strengere asylregler. Samtidig tredobledes irakiske asylsøgere i Norge og firedobledes i Finland ifølge den seneste statistik, oplyser UNHCR.”
“Between 2001 and 2008, more than 200 people were convicted of terrorism-related offenses, and the threat level is still at its second-highest level, “severe,” meaning an attack is highly likely.”

Det engelske politi er begyndt at lede efter børn og unge, som er på vej til at blive terrorister. De har indtil videre fundet 200 de sidste 18 måneder.
“Two hundred schoolchildren in Britain, some as young as 13, have been identified as potential terrorists by a police scheme that aims to spot youngsters who are “vulnerable” to Islamic radicalisation.
The number was revealed to The Independent by Sir Norman Bettison, the chief constable of West Yorkshire Police and Britain’s most senior officer in charge of terror prevention.
He said the “Channel project” had intervened in the cases of at least 200 children who were thought to be at risk of extremism, since it began 18 months ago. The number has leapt from 10 children identified by June 2008.”
