| Lessons From The FBI's Most-Wanted-Terrorist List |
| 2013-05-02 |
| by Daniel Pipes The FBI's list of "Ten Most Wanted" fugitives dates back to 1950, but the list of "Most Wanted Terrorists" began just after 9/11. Today, the list includes 31 individuals, all of them male and, with a single exception (Daniel Andreas San Diego, an animal-rights extremist), all of them Muslim. Muslims make up 30 out of 31 most wanted terrorists, or about 97 percent of them. That's a pretty good indication of the insight contained in Bernard Lewis's 1990 article famously called "Muslim rage," and of why Islam-related issues have such prominence. |

| #1 Another lesson learned is one can crowd-source reliable tracking information after a horrific event, lockdown a city, and within a few days kill or capture the terrorist(s) with participation from citizens. More such successes might make the FBI and law enforcement in general more believe-able. Apparently these 31 clowns aren't high priority targets. |
