Generation Jihad

Synopsis: BBC journalist Peter Taylor presents this three-part series which investigates the phenomenon of home-grown terror plots hatched by young Muslims who have rejected the values of their parents and the western countries in which they were born and have instead embraced militant Islam. The series attempts to look at the reasons for the rise of these extremists, how they have organised themselves and what can be done about the threat they pose.
