-At this point in time, Arabs from what countries are getting into jihadi activities and if so, where are they going?

-Where is the most recruitment for jihad going on nowadays and how many of the recruits head to the Arab world?

-Will Arab jihadis find it more important to stay and fight the West in AfPak or Iraq or hop over to these countries East and join history in the making as spoilers?

-What conditions would bring them front and center again?

-Where would they most likely find an opportunity among the countries of discontent?

-What would be the reaction of truly popular interest groups to their presence?
