Kurdish Terrorists Recruiting in Europe

Today's WaPo has a lengthy and troubling story about a Kurdish extremist group that intends to establish a radical Islamic state in Kurdistan, and how it has been actively recruiting in Europe. Acoording to the post, the group Ansar al-Islam and its leader Mustapha Darwich Ramadan (now going by Abu Mohammed Lubnani) have recruited hundreds or thousands of killers from Europe. They have been responsible for at least 40 suicide or other attacks that have killed 1,000 or more in Iraq.

Europe's Muslim problem can't be understated. The continent will find it increasingly difficult to justify its necessary response to terrorists in its midst while continuing to oppose to our necessary response to the countries that breed and support these vermin.
