The United States National Security Strategy contends that the War
on Terror is a "battle of ideas - a fight against the terrorists
and against their murderous ideology." In turn, it separates the
radical Islamist from their religion - Islam. The problem with this
contention rests with the fact 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 strategy must
seek out ways to employ America's and its allies' full complement
of instruments of national 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 the development of a new form of Pan-Arabism. The end goal
would be to create a unifying counter ideological effort and win
the hearts and minds of the moderate Muslim community. By winning
over the hearts and minds of this populace, the counterinsurgency
would gain the upper hand over the effectiveness of the insurgent's
efforts and his ability to use the population for his ends, and
eventually achieve victory.
