It has been reported from the United Kingdom that hundreds, 1500 to be exact, non-Muslim Brit's have been recruited by Al-Qaeda to form a "white army of terror" and carry out attacks within the United Kingdom.
The white recruits are sought out in places such as prisons, where the individuals are susceptible to being converted out of loneliness and the need for comfort and support.
Religion is most often not mentioned, and radical planning and intentions proceed as time moves on.
These claims are being disputed by Muslim leaders.

P.S.
It’s interesting to read some of the U.K. citizen’s comments on the site of the article to see their perspective on things. One even says “I don’t believe that Al-Qaeda exists.”
