This is pretty accurate. After 9/11 for a few years every time I traveled, within the USA, and I did a few times a year, I’d ask my taxi cab drivers in various cities about it. Of course, all of them disavowed any connection of interest in the Al Qaeda branch of islam.
We’d chat about that until they seemed really comfortable, and somewhere I’d slip in the question, “but there are probably people at your mosque who are into that jihad stuff, right?” And the first time I asked that, I was expecting the guy to say, “Oh, no, not at MY mosque, no.” Nope.
He answered, still just casual chat but chilling to me, “Well, yeah, but I don’t pay any attention to them.” So I made sure to ask that of every other Muslim cab driver I met, and the answer was always the same. In all the cities, these guys knew people from their own mosques who were into jihad and pro bin Laden. Not them, no, never them, but they knew people.
FNC *still* hasn’t covered this.
