Issue:Terrorism: Goals and Responses:

Specific:"Islamofascist actions might be tactically motivated by a real or alleged injury of the objects of their emotional identification. Strategically, however, these battles are only a detail of a war. It is aimed in its first stage at reestablishing control over whatever Islam might have controlled or had claimed historically."

Comment:This is a truly unique perspective. The concern is that he ignores 9/11 and America. Why bring America into the battle either tactically or strategically? What is the advantage to fighting America now?

This is characteristic of conservative writings.
It leaves me with more questions, rather than making me feel I understand and maybe agree with the perspective.

I will not agree with or go along with a perspective that I don't understand.
One of many reasons to go along with any perspective is the abscence of questions and or concerns.

The 9/11 hole in this writer's logic is too big a question for me.
