What? 3 more al Qaeda leaders? This gang must be a gang of nothing but leaders with no followers.

I believe that the media or the authorities call these sand monkeys “leaders” to make it look like they are making more progress than they really are.

And frightening people. I think you are right.

There are many Muslim extremists in Europe involved in indoctrination activities. They usually have no terrorist training and, in principle, no intention to carry out attacks by themselves. They usually enjoy living in a developed country and leave jihad for others.

When their behavior can be linked to a terrorist group (contacts with other Islamic extremists or funding transfers) then they can be accused of pertaining to a terrorist organization and be arrested, but the truth is that they are second level members, part of the infrastructure, and no combat ones. These details are usually not provided by the MSM.
