Public opinion surveys of Muslims in the Middle East and the West suggest the difficulty of countering the message of violent extremists to those inclined to hate the United States and the West for perceived oppression against Muslims.3 A survey conducted in the United Kingdom in the spring of 2006 indicated that a small but significant minority supported the July 2005 attacks there.4 It also revealed that a majority of Muslims in the Middle East still believe that the 9/11 attacks were a Mossad plot,5 even after Usama Bin Ladin publicly claimed credit. [...] Adam Gadahn (aka Azzam the American), a California native who converted to Islam and supports al Qaeda and Islamic extremism, wrote in his conversion story that Jesus was, at best, the Son of God and not someone who individuals sh...
[...] another American convert to Islam who is active in al Qaeda was the one who was captured - which shows anew that officials have ignored the conversion of rootless young Americans and their recruitment for the jihad to our great detriment.
ADAM GADAHN, an American who's taken up with al-Qaida and now serves as its multimedia poobah, has the mental and moral firepower of a pop gun. But he's right about one thing: There's a good chance you can acquire a weapon at a U.S. gun show even if you're not supposed to be able to get one.
KARACHI, Pakistan - Two Pakistani officers and a government official said Sunday that an American charged with treason for working with al-Qaida had been captured, a development that could deliver another significant blow in the U.S.-led battle against the terror network. S. defense, intelligence and law enforcement officials could not immediately verify the reported detention of Adam Gadahn, a 31- year-old spokesman for al-Qaida who has appeared on videos threatening the West, including one that emerged earlier Sunday.
KARACHI, Pakistan - The American-born spokesman for al-Qaida has been arrested by Pakistani intelligence officers in the southern city of Karachi, two officers and a government official said Sunday, the same day Adam Gadahn appeared in a video urging U.S. Muslims to attack their own country. The arrest of Gadahn is a major victory in the U.S.-led battle against al-Qaida and will be taken as a sign that Pakistan, criticized in the past for being an untrustworthy ally, is cooperating more fully with Washington. It follows the recent detentions of several Afghan Taliban commanders in Karachi, including the movement's No. 2 commander.

In American al Qaeda operative Adam Gadahn's convert-to-Islam-or-die message to America released last Saturday, he extended a special invitation to the President, as well as to Daniel Pipes, Michael Scheuer, Steve Emerson and me:
A call by al Qaeda American spokesman Adam Gadahn for Muslim extremists living in the West to launch attacks highlights the way U.S. officials are struggling to define and meet the growing threat of homegrown terrorism and domestic radicalization. My brothers: Know that jihad is your duty as well," the 32-year old California-raised Muslim convert said in a 40-minute English- language video released over the weekend. Gadahn, who is on the FBI's most wanted list, said he was addressing militants "on the margins of [Western] society in the miserable suburbs of Paris, London and Detroit.
ISLAMABAD - Pakistani officials reversed course Monday on a recently captured American suspected of being a member of al-Qaida, saying the man is not the terror network's U.S.-born spokesman, as they initially believed. The man arrested in the southern city of Karachi was first identified as al-Qaida spokesman Adam Gadahn, the most-wanted American in the terrorist network.
