Young people are the fastest growing segment of the Arab world. About 60 percent of Arab countries' populations are less than 25 years old. But some of the young Muslims who are drawn to jihad do not live in Arab nations. They live in Europe and North America. They're well educated, and sometimes, well off. The BBC's Peter Taylor investigates the terrorist threat posed by young Muslim extremists, who are radicalised online.
