“Holy War” of “White” Converts to Islam Against Civilization

In northern England, began hearings in a lawsuit against a group of individuals who would form the basis for cell recruitment and radicalization of individuals who fight in Afghanistan. The group is part of a mass of Britons, who were drawn to fight in Southeast Asia.

Reports of “white” converts from a major UK especially for European security services, because they return to the West, and can seamlessly launch terrorist attacks.

The group that has launched terrorist attacks on means of transport in London on 7 July 2005 is an example of this. Germaine Lindsay, the Jamaican origin, has been converted, one of the most violent and radical group members.

According to survey information, he was involved in an incident which led to a crime before the explosions in London.

In another case, from east London, Mohammed Hamid, known as “Osama bin London” has been reconverted to religion after a life of drug contaminated. He became a key figure of a network of radicalization, and on 21 July 2005, his group tried to put bombs in London two weeks after the attack on 7 July.

Before al-Qaida terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, the United States, individuals who converted route and arrived at training camps in Afghanistan and Pakistan was much easier.

James McLintock, dubbed the “Tartan Taliban” first joined the jihad directed against the Soviet Union in the late ’80s. McLintock became a recognized figure in the jihad fought in Europe, joined the fighting in Bosnia. He returned regularly in Afghanistan.

And before September 11, 2001, there was a stream of converts, who were given a high degree of trust from the al-Qaida. In 1999, Christian Ganczarski, a Polish-German, converted using the same network cell in Hamburg, where the “product” Mohammed Atta, leader of the group, which provoked the attacks in the United States.

Covertirea “white” after September 11, continued to play an important role in Afghanistan and Pakistan, but few have come to have important roles, like those before. According to British sources, Briton Dhiren Barot, a Hindu home, was jailed in Britain in November 2006 after a career as a soldier in jihad militants in Asia.

Neal Bryant Vinas, in Queens, New York was converted to Islam and went to training camps in Pakistan in September 2007 using the networks in the United States to establish contact with the radicals.

These “white” converts, who joined the jihad represents a potential threat that militant groups will attempt to use it actively.
