Europe is facing the largest terrorist threat since 2001, with between 3,000 and 5,000 Europeans in jihadist ranks, the director of European police agency Europol said on Tuesday (13 January). Europol head Rob Wainwright answered questions in a committee of the British House of Commons. He told MPs that “about 3 to 5,000 EU nationals” have left Europe to fight in Syria, Iraq and other conflict zones.
“We are dealing with a large body of mainly young men that have the potential to come back, and have the intent, if not the capability, to carry out attacks that we have seen in Paris last week”, said Wainwright. Europol has collected “about 2,500 names of suspects”...

RE: Up to 5,000 Europeans joined jihad,
The even more important question is this — how many “Europeans” ( note the quotes ) actually SUPPORT their doing so?
“Will the threat of Islam be the glue that keeps Europe together?”
They first have to start electing leaders who will open their eyes to the threat that allowing immigration from Muslim countries is.
5,000: AKA “A small insignificant minority”.
We elected two Presidents in a row, Bush Junior and Barrack Hussein who both saw nothing wrong with INCREASING muslim immigration into our homeland.
Just because they were born in Europe (of foreign national parents) does not make them Europeans.
The fact is that the disbelief of many real Europeans that a person born and raised in a European country would go against their “country” is an indicator that this has nothing to do with their country of birth and everything to do with their islamic beliefs.
The conflict at hand is an islamic war against the rest of the world and none of them has any loyalty to any particular country regardless of how long they’ve been there.
France allowed this infestation of cockroaches and it will take drastic measures to clean out the nests.
The French fought this infestation and won in 732 but they have forgotten that lesson of history and forgotten what it took to defeat the muslim’s Nazi brethren in the last century.
It took the Spaniards 200 years to finally rid themselves of their infestation in 1492.
It was a hard fight to finally run out the last of the invaders from Prague in 1648.
The modern world is already late in understanding that there are no moderate or peaceful muslims, only those taking actions and those supporting them and/or waiting to take action.
I'd bet my house the number is way less than 10% if you eliminate the Balkan contingent.
good point!
Crazy!?!? Progressives are blinded by their own incompetence...or perhaps they are working for the same puppet master?
