Read this article from the New York Times: The Jihadist Next Door
It's a fascinating account of a young Syrian-American who grew up in small town Alabama, very assimilated, very much part of the popular crowd. He is now a major figure in an Al-Quaida subsidiary called 'Shabab' in Somalia. It felt to me ads if this true story picks up where 'My son the fanatic' left off.
