I read this article. I daresay that there are a lot more terrorist groups beyond Hamas and AQ in the USA. I once saw a map where major concentrations were shown near major U.S. cities and Miami/Fort Lauderdale had theirs. They are all capable of strikes. But will they strike? I wonder how many Jihadis will actually carry out their missions once they have effectively assimilated into our society and gotten used to such conviences like indoor plumbing etc, I'm not sure it's a certainty they'll go thru with the act....Especially if they're not part of a cell, but rather, acting alone. In a cell, there is mutual support and organization and leadership and possible sanctions for cold feet. I'm sure these groups are fully capable of killing a member's family in the Middle East for failure to obey.

Yes, the person's family will be in danger, on that I agree.
As for the single person acting on orders, yes, I think they would do so, even alone and years later, after all the good living in America.
They are pulled in with hate, not love of God.
There way of life, is one of taking orders.
The hate is kept alive, even without other jihadii contact, as the hate of the liberals would reinforce that hate that is in him....it is on the tv, radio and in print.
Then too, I think of all the Russian sleepers, who are still here and a danger.
Remember Hitler? That is what I pick up as a feeling from them, blind, insane rage, without understanding of why.
And if we are lucky, then I am wrong, and willing to be.
