Assesses the nature of & threat posed by militant Islamic fundamentalist groups operating in the US. Drawing on 1995/96 events, the infrastructure of & interaction between these organizations are described. It is argued that these groups have portrayed themselves as human rights activists, an image adopted by an ill-informed US media, & have used the US as a safe haven to conduct activities forbidden in their homelands. This is seen in the growth of Hamas, the activities of the Muslim Arab Youth Assoc & Islamic Assoc for Palestine, & high profiles of the Council on American Islamic Relation & the American Muslim Council. It is shown how these groups are driven by conflicting needs to maintain this safe haven to prepare jihads, even against the US. It is concluded that when fundamentalists can no longer control their rage, terrorism will likely occur in the US. T. Arnold
