This report provides an analysis of the emergence of a homegrown form of Islamic extremism that is spreading throughout Muslim communities in both London and Madrid. It also presents findings relevant to Europe's confrontation with Islamic terror, as well as recommendations relating specifically to the bombings in the London and Madrid subway systems of 2005 and 2004. The student paper is divided into three parts. The first part addresses the European-wide failure to integrate an expanding Islamic population. The second and third sections summarize findings specific to the London and Madrid attacks as well as recommendations for bringing alienated second and third generation Muslim immigrants into mainstream European societies.
