The fight against terrorism has the Islamic dimension to it. Without an entity that would represent the real face of Islam, the field is wide open for movements who claim to be acting out of Islamic motives.

Strapping on bombs, blowing up innocent people speak louder than a spokesman does

Simple...because they are fighting ISLAM...not Terror.\nUSA is the biggest terrorist and no body fighting it,and The so-called "israel"as well,.\nThey are fighting humanity and virtue in ISLAM...AND all the wrong doings that comes from some muslims is because of their anger against unjustice towards muslims and islam...IT IS A REACTION & REVENGE to the west"s acts against them.

No not all Islamics are violent! Why does anybody feel the need to do anything? They have their own rules just like we do and just like every other country! We can't base our opinions on every Islamics because of what a handful do! We are in no way a perfect country. We have terrorist too! Remember the American Timothy Mcvey (spelling?) who bombed a building in his OWN country? Remember Waco Texas? Remember Ruby Ridge? Why do we do the things we do? When we figure out our own we may be able to figure out others!

Because people hate when you compare them to evil people in the past. The only difference is the 60 year gap. People also like to have an identifiable "enemy". Saying "suicide bombers" or "extremists" isn't enough. Even though the vast majority of Muslims are as shocked by the bombings as anyone else. Notably, most of the innocent victims are also Muslim.

It depends Islam has different branches too.\nAnd they are all different. Just like Christianity. Look At Ireland.\nBut main cause of terrorism is social when they do not have jobs and lost their families at war people are very sensitive and hurt they tend to turn in to the religion and there comes the mullah who use the religion for the power and money and brain wash these people.\nSo not all muslims are terrosits. \nBut I came from middle east and i think those wars will never end till the end of the time.\nI am a Muslim but the good gave people some common sense to use as well.\nIf god is going to send me to the heaven with those hijackers. I would prefer to go to the hell.

You summed it up. In their minds, they are doing the will of Allah so they can justify anything. Why is there no Million Muslim March in Washington to back peace and denounce the radicals? It's because they all agree with "the struggle against the infidel" at some level.

Because Islam exists.

"Islamic terrorism is inspired by Islamic teachings. We can never get rid of Islamic terrorism unless we defeat the ideology behind it and that is Islam itself. Islam induces hate backed by lies. Muhammad was a terrorist by his own admission. All Muslims, to the extent that they follow him, are terrorists. Those Muslims who are not terrorists are ignorant of Islam. Fortunately they are the majority. We need to rescue them. If you are a good human being, you are not a Muslim. Read this site http://www.faithfreedom.org and if you can't prove me wrong, leave this deceitful cult of hate and terror and join mankind. Don't be part of the Umma. Umma is fascism. It is divisive. It induces the hatred of others. Be part of humanity instead. Your ignorance is not an excuse. Pull your head out of the sand and face the truth, like we did. \n\nFaith Freedom International is a grassroots worldwide movement of ex-Muslims and all those who are concerned about the rise of the Islamic threat. We want to bring humanity together, not by introducing yet another doctrine, which always ends up dividing mankind more, but by eliminating the doctrines that divide us. We want to abolish this evil 'Muslim vs. Kafir" dichotomy. Mankind is one family. Don't let narcissist men like Hitler and Muhammad sunder us with their big lies. Don't become the victim of the "divide and rule" policy of a psychopath. \n\nFaith Freedom stands for freedom of faith. We are against Hate, not Faith. We revere human rights not human beliefs. We endeavor to be factually correct, not politically correct. \n\nDo your part! Let this message out. Let us eradicate Islam and bring mankind together - the way God intended. Islam is the cancer of humanity. We can get rid of it. There is nothing we humans can't do. Mountains move aside to make way for those who are determined." - Ali Sina

In order to answer this we need to know why they are really there in the first place.  \n\nIf it is to stop terrorism than it cannot be won.  As long as therre are people there will be terrorists.  Killing people just breeds more hate and leads to a new generation of terrorist.  It is a war without winners.  Of course some would argue a war cannot be won or lost, justexists.

the only way you can distroy the terrorism by understanding why they fight and give their life for nothing. you have to know the needs of the people and why they support that organization. and every one will have a good reason to fight,... not like the ones that america say for keeping atomic war heads to their hands

Ummmm you do know that 'terrorism' is what oppressors often call those who resist their oppression.\n\nJust look at the recent 34-day war in which Israel and Hez-b-allah went at it.  Hez-b-allah is a great resistance movement.  They just want their land back.  Israel calls it a 'terrorist' group, just like the Tamil Tigers are called 'terrorists' by the Sri Lankans.\n\nIt's all about the indomitable human spirit.  Like the Jewish Ben-Hur said, "You may conquer the land and slaughter the people, but you can't control what's up here".

There is nothing in the Koran nor mainstream doctrines of Islam that supports or condones any terrorist acts.  Suicide bombers are merely weak-minded pawns of manipulative people who use an Islam-esque facade to mask their own twisted agendas.  To associate Islam with such acts would be similar to associating mainstream Christianity with nut-jobs like David Koresh or associating Americans with Ted Bundy.

I was told earlier today that 'War on Terror' is 'political narrative', its an ideal, an abstract concept that gains popular belief in order to justify a political action. It has no bearing on why those actions are being performed at all. Which makes sense for me anyway.

Because some brands of Islam seeks to impose its views on the world by force. As to comparing religions, not really sure where you get that from; I have not heard many people doing such a thing.

Terrorist(ism) is really a non-specific term. Enemy (an entity) is of high utility to identifying, targeting & protecting. You could point to countless categories of violence, ignoring more important attributes that unite the perpetrators, and make no progress defeating them.

Too bad people don't read their history books, Christianity spred practically only because it was violently forced upon the pagans. \n\nI agree with you, it's silly to think you can relate a 'terrorist' to a model Christian.
