Yes. It has struck me more than once recently that the most extreme fundamentalist groups where terrorists such as Atta are recruited and groomed are not on Mid-East soil, but in Europe and N. America. Atta's parents sent him from Egypt to Germany to get a degree, not anticipating that he would be recruited into the terrorist stream of Islam. This is not an isolated incident. These groups CANNOT operate as freely and openly in those moderate Arab countries, who, as you say, fear overthrow by these groups and take steps to suppress them. England, Germany, Canada, the US -- the freedom of the West (which they hate and want to destroy) has allowed these groups to "grow" terrorists, which they could NOT so easily do in the cradle of Islam itself!
This makes for a conundrum. What are we doing to prevent the recruitment and grooming of terrorists in Europe and N.A.? (I don't mean terrorist cells -- I mean the fertile breeding ground . . .) What can/should we do? In addition to stopping PC nonsense . . .
What can we the people do?... Here's an FR thread that deals with what we can do, daily. Read through some of the anecdotal stories and see why we shouldn't leave home now without a camera and something to write on.

We're doing nothing. We've been inviting the enemy into our house all along, and we've done nothing since to prevent them coming here. We have not closed our borders to middleeasterners, we make no effort to deport terrorists, we dont even deport people who are suspected of being terrorists, we don;t check on the validity of student visas. We have 8 million illegal aliens whome we are not even attempting to find and deport.
Political correctness is destroying this country no less than terrorism.
The fall of the American empire is coming
