Is Chicago more dangerous than Riyadh?

Abdulrahman al-Rashed, alarabiya.net, Is Chicago more dangerous than Riyadh? "It is the height of contradiction to be a Saudi, a Kuwaiti or an Egyptian and worry that your children who are studying or working in the United States or Europe may turn into extremists who desire to join organizations like al-Qaeda and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)." Interesting discussion that applies equally in UK contexts.
