4. Don't know if this is legit, but I'll take this opportunity to recommend "Sleeper Cell"

which was on Showtime several years back (two seasons). I -- from my non-member perspective -- shows insight into those who are drawn into this. Very interesting. On Netflix.

Darwyn Al-Sayeed, a 30-year-old American undercover FBI agent who is a Muslim and embracing Islam as his religion, is assigned to infiltrate a terrorist sleeper cell that is planning an attack in Los Angeles. The cell is run by an Arab extremist named Faris al-Farik who disguises as a Jewish. The members of the cell come from a variety of racial background and conflicting personalities. The series also portray members of the cell who are Muslims that commit heaviest sins of all (e.g. sex outside marriage) but want to be martyr of Islam. Darwyn is supervised by FBI senior agent Ray Fuller, also a close friend who worries for Darwyn's safety.
In the second season, Darwyn infiltrates a new cell that has formed to avenge the defeat of the original cell. When his second handler, Patrice Serxner, is killed in Sudan, Darwyn must try to work with yet another handler, Special Agent Russell. Meanwhile, his girlfriend Gayle is drawn deeper into the intrigue when she's caught between Russell, Darwyn and a member of the cell.
The writers once again offered a non-stereotypical mix of cell members, including a white European woman, a Latino-American man and, in a first for American television, a gay Muslim man.
