Converts to Terror
• Conversion to Islam substantially increases the probability of a person’s involvement in terrorism

Converts to Islam are taking over the terrorist operations previously carried out mainly by Muslim-born immigrants and their children. Islamist terror organizations particularly prize converts. They know the local culture and blend in. They cannot be deported. They can hide their religious affiliation by avoiding mosques, and can partake in customs normally forbidden by Islam. The growing prominence of converts to terrorism means that such counterterrorism tools as looking for Muslim names or excluding potential terrorists at the border do not suffice. Instead, it is now critical also to know exactly who converts to Islam and to watch converts to see which of them are radicalized.
