U.S. law enforcement officials say they have identified more than two dozen "clusters" of young Muslim men in the northeast United States who are on a path that could lead to homegrown terror, ABC News has learned.
"Any one of those clusters may be capable of carrying out a terrorist action that will result in fatalities," Rand Corporation terrorism expert Brian Jenkins tells ABC News.
In a report to be made public today, New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly concludes the 9/ll attacks were an "anomaly" and the most serious terror threat to the country comes from clusters of "unremarkable" individuals who are on a path that could lead to homegrown terror.
The report by the NYPD intelligence division, "Radicalization in the West and the Homegrown Threat," plots "the trajectory of radicalization" and tracks the path of a non-radicalized individual to an individual with the willingness to commit an act of terror, multiple sources say.
"The threat is real; this is not some bogey man we are creating here. There are individuals who are proselytizing, inciting angry young men to go down this path," said Jenkins, who reviewed and contributed to the NYPD report.
The report identifies mosques, bookstores, cafes, prisons and flop houses as what it calls "radicalization incubators" that provide "extremist fodder or fuel for radicalization."
The leader of an American Arab civil rights group labeled the NYPD report as "unfortunate stereotyping" and at odds with federal law enforcement findings that the threat from homegrown terrorists was minimal.

“...but I will answer that most Muslims really are peaceful.”
_____________________
Quit hitting the Kool-Aid. Most Muslims are not peaceful, they are merely “backsliders” in their faith.
How many of our hotels and mini-marts are owned by radical jihadists who have access to credit card numbers of 1,000’s of folks? Now, economic terror is not has horrendous as a dirty nuke, but it could still cause economic disaster of unforseen proportions.
Their websites are no more filled with hatred of the US than the Daily Kos or DU.
Personally, I don’t consider people who’s loyalty is to a nonexistent Caliphate and Sharia Law to be “homegrown”, regardless of whether they happened to be born here or not.
The operative word being "weren't".....
“READ New Testament and READ Koran before you express any opinions regarding “Peaceful Islam” on this forum.”
Though I am neither Christian or Muslim, I have read both the New Testament and (most of) the Koran. Your point is well taken: For the most part Christianity preaches love and forgiveness whereas Islam is a finishing school for psycopaths.
The Feds need to cease recognizing any branch of Islam as (an) official religion and yank any and all federal tax exemptions. After that, the Feds should go at them mosque by mosque, looking for RICO (and other) violations.
Treat them as the mob, organized crime. Though not a panacea, it would help to greatly reduce their in-country influence.
