ABSTRACT
However, a slightly more obvious tendency of these organizations and their activities is worth some elaboration. The main trend of such activity carried out by Islamic fundamentalist organizations acting in Romania has to date been focused on the recruitment and indoctrination of new followers amongst the Turkish and Tartar ethnic communities, as well as a smaller number of other foreign or indigenous citizens. In this regard, the greatest threats posed by terrorist organizations (and elements of them) acting on Romanian soil are actually the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas and Hizbollah. The members and supporters of these organizations act under various covers, which on the surface appear to be perfectly legitimate Islamic organizations, including the Muslim Students' Association. This organization has given us cause for much concern, and worryingly has sought to increase its membership through several branches in the main university cities in Romania, including Bucharest.
