DAR AL HARB/ISLAM: HOW TO FIGHT TERRORISM?!? RESPECT FOR INTERNATION LAW, INTEGRATION & RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS

Terrorism expert: security not the answer

Jenkins: solution in respect for international law, integration of immigrant communities, respect for human rights.

ROME - Terrorism can be defeated, but rather than military force and security lockdowns, the solution lies in respect for international law, integration of immigrant communities and respect for the human rights of those who dissent from government policy, one of the world's foremost terrorism experts, [Only INFIDELS have to do this, because moslems don't have to as evidence shows every day by the condition of not only moslems living in islamic countries but infidels as well...ed. A.I.] Brian Michael Jenkins, told Italian investigative weekly L'Espresso. The interview follows a suicide attack last week that killed seven Spanish tourists in Yemen and the failed carbombings in the British capital London and at Glasgow airport late last month. Investigators believe the attacks may be al-Qaeda linked.

The recent attacks in Britain highlight two facts, one negative and one positive according to Jenkins. The worrying aspect is that al-Qaeda appears to have acquired a romantic appeal among Muslims who feel alienated by Anglo-American foreign policy in the Middle East and South Asia, he said.

"Al-Qaeda is no longer even an ideology, but has become an epic narrative in which the young, dispossessed masses - from Karachi to Scotland - recognise themselves as characters," said Jenkins. He is a former US army commander in Vietnam, who is currently an advisor to the US national terrorism committee, special security advisor to the Vatican and a member of the US presidential committee on air safety, as well the author of numerous books.

"In this narrative, young Muslims take up arms against their Western oppressors in the name of [God], but also to reaffirm their dignity as human beings and the right to be able to express themselves freely without fear of criminal sanctions or marginalisation," Jenkins continued.
