Description

The United States National Security Strategy contends that the War on Terror is a “battle ofideas – a fight against the terrorists and against their murderous ideology.” In turn, it separatesthe radical Islamist from their religion - Islam. The problem with this contention rests with thefact that there is no separation of religion from the terrorists', nor from their murderous ideology.In light of this disconnect, a new comprehensive counter strategy is required. Furthermore,ascribing to the premise that today's fight represents a global insurgency, the revised strategymust seek out ways to employ America's and its allies' full complement of instruments ofnational power. These efforts could be used to aid a grassroots establishment of a non-Western,moderate Islamic voice, go on an offensive information operations campaign, or even foster thedevelopment of a new form of Pan-Arabism. The end goal would be to create a unifying counterideological effort and win the hearts and minds of the moderate Muslim community. By winningover the hearts and minds of this populace, the counterinsurgency would gain the upper handover the effectiveness of the insurgent's efforts and his ability to use the population for his ends,and eventually achieve victory.
