Throughout history, factors of radicalization have involved social and economic conditions and issues of identity. Patterns of Islamist radicalization in Europe reflect the historical experience of European Muslim communities, particularly their links to their home countries, the prevalence of militant groups there, and the extent to which factors of radicalization in Muslim countries transfer to European Muslim diasporas. Eurojihad examines the sources of radicalization in Muslim communities in Europe and the responses of European governments and societies.

愛旅遊的加拿大華裔女子，走遍世界32個國家後，沉寂下來，聽聽心底深處的聲音 ◎到過32個國家的加拿大華裔女子，用心寫下心底最深處的聲音。 ◎將那些年的足跡刻畫在圖文之間，用自己的眼睛看見獨特的世界。 ◎本書的收益將贈予加拿大防癌協會，為這個世界盡一份微小的心力。 我很愛旅遊。 那是基於膚淺的慾望想多看看這個世界，而並非受到前世的鄉愁所呼喚。 韓國奉恩寺的修行、欣賞土耳其伊斯坦堡的清真寺、參觀俄羅斯的冬宮博物館、面對葡萄牙的天涯海角、走在希臘聖托里尼的圖畫裡，心裡不只是感嘆世界的美麗，同時也在反覆琢磨自己真正的感受。 而在歷遍多個地方之後才理解，原來我的心才是我的家。 無論風景多麼美麗絕倫，無論異國風采有多麼獨特，肉體所在之地其實並不是最重要的。 只有心裡繫念的人才是永遠的安身之地。 我想帶你去一趟旅行，以世界作背景，用最純潔的心靈去感受。 請靜靜地聽聽心裡的聲音。
