Growth of immigrant population and homegrown terrorism in Europe

Summary/Abstract: It is clear from the past, that mass migration seeking paradise, new opportunities facilitate the distribution of terrorism. The fact that at least one of the terrorists of 13 November in Paris entered the European Union via the Balkan route, Berlin attacker indicates that the phenomenon of sleepy Islamists should not be underestimated in the context of migration. Fears of an alleged strategy of the Trojan Horse of the Islamic State, a strategy that has intensified in January 2015. According to the self-acknowledged smuggler who operates in Turkey, claims to have been sent more than 4,000 ISIS fighters in Europe that are loaded on ships and buses full of refugees. However, these observations are potentially misleading. To understand this threat is very important to examine the number of "refugee terrorists" by the total number of refugees, in the total number of terrorist acts. Research done in Western Europe show that the number of refugees terrorists is symbolic in terms of large numbers of refugees arrived in the past two years. Experts on terrorism in the Western states and Balkans, also warned about hysteric perception that almost every male refugee is a potential terrorist. Concerns about terrorism and refugees are legitimate, but the fear that is expressed normally is increased and worries often are wrong.
