Western (white) people convert to Islam for the same reason any other peoples do: realization of the absolute truth of creation, life, and afterlife. Western culture & christianity are 'both under threat' for the same reason: acceptance of Islam by greater number of people.

I'm "white" and also a convert to Islam. I'm not involved in any bad activities. I follow my Holy Quran and live a clean nice life.
I have some American people do some bad things to me because I am Muslim. I had to quit two jobs because of harassment and the police were involved in the harassing when I called them for assistance too. I've had countless people request pictures with "the only white Muslim they have ever seen" But I do know many people who have converted to Islam and it was the best choice in my life because I found all the answers I had never gotten before in my Holy Quran.

Whether in the West, or the East, you can find unhappy and angry people who can be conned into becoming radical and terrorists. They are misfits in society. And, theses are the ones we hear about in the media, no matter where they live.
There are many good people who convert to Islam, and live the religion as it should be lived. It is a religion that I think many Christians find makes alot more sense then their Christianity. We just never hear about these people. They do not make the news.

What is most disturbing (unless a Muslim posts differently while I am composing this answer).., the first replies in support of Islam did not once object the terrorist activities you mentioned, but seemed to approve of it without question qualifying it as the true religion.
THAT is very disturbing. The Bible says people would turn from the truth and follow a lie.., and sadly that means many even in the Christian circles who do not live by Jesus teachings and do contrary.
Islam is the lie that will cause the fall of many - and I was shown that the Antichrist comes out of Islam, and it is this religion by which he will pursue his conquests.

I believe this causes a great threat. I also believe that it derives from a new politically correct attitude that Americans demand from one another. Deciding that everyone is right no matter what they believe. Under that mistaken philosophy, people allow them self to categorize themselves under any type of religion that suits there fancy, rather than seek out the truth. One example of tolerance that leads to death and destruction. I do believe people have the right to believe whatever they want. I do not believe that every one is right. There is one absolute truth, whether I am right or not is irrelevant to that fact. I can not just say that when I die, I will walk around on giant pizzas all day. No matter how much I believe it, it Will not be true to me or for me. So in all religions that are not the true religion, these people will fall under the absolute principles of the One True religion.

moon walker,
That's okay for them I guess. It's just that there are a lot of people that have been deluded over the years, many by their own fault. God allows some to believe a lie and be damned, and that's just what is happening. The Last Days is here, and the world as we know it is going to change forever. And the Muslims may find themselves doing things that they may have only dreamed about, but to their demise, death will be their portion.
In todays US American culture, there has been a shift away from beautiful. Instead people want grotesque. Instead of looking clean they want to pierce themselves and cover themselves with tatoos. Far be it from me to judge them but natural isn't valued anymore.
These are trends; to be anti establishment is en vogue, and it's seemingly okay to treat the President unfairly. People stopped wondering whether or not their actions are evil.
So it's not a surprise to me that Islam is finding whites to join Islam. The descent of man gradually turns downward, destroying itself along the way, and for an instant evil seems to win out. But that is not so. For God will bring all the enemies of Israel against Israel, when Jesus will return and destroy all of them.
We are just watching now, the stage is being set.

All praise to God, that people are converting to the true religion Islam. It is sad however to here that a very small minority of these converts are being suspected of terrorist involvement as Islam has no tolerance for terrorists.

They're converting because they're all ****** in the head. Be real, people look at those people as terrorists, whether they all are or not. There's some strange people in this world that thinks saying they're that religion makes them look cool and bad. Anymore I believe everyone is under some kind of threat, no matter what they're religion they are. Things are not like they were years ago, now we have to wonder if we're safe in our own homes!

Monotheism is actually a correct belief. True Christians are monotheists and interpret the Holy Trinity as completely one God.
The Father, Son and Holy Spirit is like the soul, the body and the works in a single person.
