Wahhabi terrorist threat in European environment

The Wahhabi terrorist threat is mostly concetrated in the region of Western Balkans as recent attacks have showed. Nevertheless, in most European states, Wahhabi radical elements are joining forces with myriad Al Qaeda connected cells, according to quite a few reports.

Is there potential for a new round of potential terrorist activity of Islamic origin in Europe, in light also of the coming 2012 Olympic Games in London?

How can a non-violent Wahhabi follower be distinguised from an individual of the same sect that has aims to follow a violent agenda?

This is a new age of terrorism with a common human characteristic. Anytime a new organization is formed that's based on religion, disagreement of leadership and principles. I believe we are now getting in to an era where these sects are becoming similar to street gangs or perhaps organized crime operations

I predict the organization will be very similar to a modern day crime family. Leadership will be broken in to several different sects with everyone reporting to one leader (or Godfather). The only difference is that these sects will be more dangerous than any mafia group has ever been. They will be bound by their beliefs of committing 'jihad' against those that oppose them. This will eventually lead up to clashes among other sects with a fight to control the organization similar to any modern day crime family.
