Jessica Stern: Jihad as Global fad? JFK School of Government lecturer doesnt know difference between bombs and boom boxes

Jessica Stern writes that talking to Muslim Youth will helped her to understand the problem of Jihadist violence , since according to her, it is a "global fad". If that is the case then her job as terrorism lecturer at the JFK School of Government and her two books on the subject are now obsolete. Maybe she can get a job as a social worker with jailed terrorists and counsel them on Post Islamist Stress Disorder.
