[Netherlands] 1,400 Amsterdam Muslims 'are potential extremists' / Expatica, 18 Oct 2006

"Research has indicated that more than 1,400 young Muslims in Amsterdam, or 2 percent of the capital's Islamic population, are potential extremists. The University of Amsterdam academics identified the potential extremists as 16 to 18-year-olds of Moroccan and Turkish origin with a high school education. They would be socially isolated and display a deep distrust of the political system. The academics said the youths were susceptible to radicalisation because of their very orthodox beliefs combined with deep dissatisfaction with the debate over Islam in the Netherlands."
