In yesterday’s Economist.com, two articles on the state of terrorism mention the work of forensic psychiatrist and counterterrorism expert Marc Sageman.

In "Doing their own thing," The Economist mentions Sageman’s assertion that European Muslims are more likely to be drawn into violent jihadist activity than their U. S. counterparts because of America’s social mobility and relatively more inclusive attitude toward immigrants.
