Erick Stakelbeck identifies the many homegrown jihadists who were once leaders, chapter presidents, and national presidents of the Muslim Students Association, which has thousands of members on campuses in the U.S. and Canada.
The organization serves as a recruitment pool for the jihadist Muslim Brotherhood, which strives to establish sharia law globally.
