A European Solution to Islamic Extremism in Western Europe
Abstract
This thesis proposes a European solution to the Islamic extremism threat in Western Europe. Disenfranchised Muslim youth are becoming radicalized across Western Europe as a result of not being accepted into Western European society. Serious growing unrest, coupled with travel freedom within and from Europe, presents a threat to Western Europe and to the United States. Various political and military organizations in Western Europe are attempting to address the problem of domestic Islamic extremism, but political realities and laws hinder their efforts. Western Europe needs a single integrated counterterrorism organization to combat Islamic extremism. This thesis proposes such an organization with a single head, subject to oversight by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's North Atlantic Council. This proposed organization, sufficiently empowered and supported, will make Europe safer and therefore greatly increase the security of the United States.
