White al-Qaeda at the Gates of the West

By Miroljub Jevtic, Ph.D.

Recent statement by the departing Homeland Security chief Tom Ridge that a profile of a terrorist must be described in a different way is an encouraging sign. Ridge said that al-Qaeda is actively recruiting terrorists among the white race: Bosnians, Chechens and among the Muslims integrated in the Western society, in particular, women. The new profile of a terrorist - the white al-Qaeda - removes another constraint in the battle against the islamic terrorism that has become a world struggle.

The bad part of the Ridge's statement, however, is that it has come relatively late, and that it is partially true.
