Radicalization of immigrants, is also another phenomenon that needs to be studied closely to be able
to distinguish those basic reasons that lead Muslims to terrorism. Grievances, poverty maybe some of
them, however there are many more to take under consideration which are mostly guided by religious
doctrines of Islam. What is also needed, is to understand that internet has decentralized terrorist
training camps. Any radicalized Muslim can acquire the skills and equipment he needs to kill a few or a
dozen or even a hundred if he chooses to follow radical preaching and doctrines of certain imams. This
lead to a most unpredictable form of terrorist, known as lone wolf.
Lone wolf terrorism operates

the Muslim population, the
bigger the risk. Any Muslim or
Muslims who have settled in a
particular non-Muslim country
can answer the call of Jihad at
any given time without
warning. As the Muslim settler
population in the country
increases, the number of
cases will grow. No matter
how much law enforcement expands the scope of its operations, it will not be able to keep up with the
high natural birth rates of the Muslim settler population whose terrorists don’t need a fraction of the
training or skills that trained law enforcement figures do. The more the Muslim population grows, the
more terror attacks like Orlando, Boston and Nice will get past law enforcement.
Not every Muslim will shoot up a nightclub or bomb a marathon, but we have no foolproof way of
telling them apart. And even many Muslims who would not shoot up an office party in San Bernardino
will still sympathize with the perpetrators. And even those Muslims who don’t will often continue
supporting the Muslim lobby of organizations like CAIR that stymie law enforcement investigations of
Islamic terrorism.
So, what can be done?
We need, first of all, to overcome the view that narrows down things to the sole way of thinking in how
to deal with terrorism and immigration and ignore the obvious ties of immigration. States have to
enforce compliance as a mandatory term for immigrants, that if they are to live within countries of the
