And Europe is a counterexample how, exactly?

Francis Fukuyama writes, "We have tended to see jihadist terrorism as something produced in dysfunctional parts of the world...There is good reason for thinking, however, that a critical source of contemporary radical Islamism lies not in the Middle East, but in Western Europe."

I don't see the point of the "however." Shouldn't it be replaced with "for example"?

I can't remember the name of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' coach during their expansion year, but after one particularly horrific game chock full of penalties, turnovers, and blown assignments, a reporter asked, "Coach, what do you think about your team's execution?"

He replied, "I'm in favor of it."
