Summary
Why are there so few Muslim terrorists? With more than a billion Muslims in the world why don't we see terrorist attacks every day? Where are the missing martyrs? Such questions may seem counterintuitive, in light of the death & devastation that terrorists have wrought around the world. But the scale of violence, outside of several civil war zones, has been far lower than the waves of attacks that the world feared in the wake of 9/11. Terrorists' own publications complain about the failure of Muslims to join their cause. This text draws on government sources, public opinion surveys, election results, & in-depth interviews with Muslims in the Middle East & around the world to examine barriers to terrorist recruitment, including 'radical sheik,' liberal Islam, revolutionary rivalries, & an inelastic demand for US foreign policy.
