UK counter-terrorist expert Anthony Glees has long warned against home-grown terrorists – and the link between them and militant clerics proselytizing not only in mosques, but also on campuses.

The same threat is now being recognized in Scotland.

…a report revealed that almost half of Scotland’s mosque leaders believed extremism existed in Muslim communities north of the Border…[and] that the “vast majority” of imams blamed the UK government’s foreign policy. [Mohammed Akram, president of the Council of British Pakistanis (Scotland)] said: “So far, the [terrorist] attacks have been unpredictable. The 7/7 attacks in London were home-grown and there’s nothing to suggest that Scotland will be immune to that. “We want our Muslim community to be more alert to try to combat extremism.” Two-thirds of the country’s imams believe that financing an Islamic training college would “help prevent extremism and terrorism.”

One wonders who would train the trainers.
