WHY COLORADO
Politics & Society | —Author: Marisa Urgo
The current issue of the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs has an interesting article on the Muslim community in Colorado — entitled, “Muslims in Colorado: From a Novelty Religion to a Thriving Community.” Obviously written before the case of al-Qaeda operative Najibullah Zazi (who lived and plotted a major attack from Colorado), the article helps to better understand the local milieu that could harbor an alleged al-Qaeda operative planning the group’s follow up to September 11th.
In Colorado, Muslim/non-Muslim interfaith activities have increased exponentially since the mid-1990s, especially since September 11, 2001, due to the increased interest of various groups which have attempted to understand and teach each other about their respective world views. Currently there is at least one interfaith event every week in the state.

SNIPPET: “But the Yard’s counter-terrorism branch was monitoring an email address uncovered in April’s abortive Operation Pathway probe into an alleged UK terror cell.”
SNIPPET: “It lay dormant for months - then was suddenly reactivated in September.
After a British tip-off, US authorities allegedly found bomb-making instructions on Zazi’s laptop. His fingerprints were on batteries and measuring scales were seized.
A phone contained video of New York’s Grand Central Station, which he visited a week before his arrest. And explosive residue was found in a kitchen. Informants also said Zazi visited a terror training camp in Pakistan. A British security source told The Sun: “This was excellent work and highlights the fact we produce good information.””
