I agree with a caveat.
When I was in Britain I was amazed at the number of Muslims living in London. I'm sure they have AQ cells there just waiting for their orders.
In a place like Poland, you are correct, there is no sizeable Muslim community....but the caveat is this.
1. Chechens/Albanian. They can pass into Europe easily. I'm really suprised AQ hasn't tapped them as much.
2. Home grown fruitcakes.-Believe it or not, all it takes is for young Stanislav Kowalsky to change his name to Mohammed Al-Mohammed, and you have a potential bus bomber. Remember Johnny Taliban? The San Fran reject.

your caveats have some merit but without a local muslim population, there is next to no chance of local wackos converting to Islam. Chechens and Albanians are recruited by Al Qaeda but they are used in lcoal operations.
I wouldnt worry about Poland. Worry about Italy. I wouldnt travel there now.
