We need a clear plan to put radical Islamic terrorism out of vogue, and it should be eliminated at its roots. American SOF are part of the puzzle, but they do not, by themselves, complete the picture.
The United States treated Gaddafi as an enemy due to his support for terrorism against us, until a rapprochement of sorts began under Pres. George W. Bush at the very end of 2003.

Bottom line is, you’re not going to win the war against terrorism without the help of Muslims… as well as Hindus and a lot of other groups. That’s a no-brainer. Many attacks have been thwarted because of information coming from people of different faiths.
Domestic terrorism has opened new war zones, operating off the assumption that all Americans are potential terrorists.
Islamist terrorism has declared war against us, against France, Europe, the entire world.
The news in Europe, West and East, is still showing America in flames, flood, etc. Cities are shown underwater; befuddled American officials are shown trying to explain why we are winning the war on terrorism.
If somebody takes masses of non-registered immigrants from the Middle East into a country, this also means importing terrorism, criminalism, anti-Semitism, and homophobia.
We can fight the War on Terrorism in other places around the world or we can fight it here in America. The right choice is to fight those terrorists where they are.

Every lethal terrorist attack in the United States since 9/11 has been carried out by an American citizen or a legal permanent resident, not by recent immigrants or by refugees. So tamping down immigration won’t fix the real issue, which is ‘homegrown’ terrorism.
Surely, it’s one of terrorism’s intended effects, to literally stun our morale, to blow up strength and will along with buildings, and the reaction is hard to counter.
In a sense, terrorism blossomed in the advent of television. Television promotes terrorism in religion and in politics.
I’ve been interested in terrorism from the very beginning. My first novel is about that, too, and I think one reason I’ve been so interested in terrorism is because I have a deep interest – one of my deepest interests – in image culture and how it works. And terrorism is an epiphenomenon of image culture.
There are no automatic links between poverty and terrorism. Among millions of poor people in the world, only a few turn to terrorism.
All we talk about is ‘Islamic terrorism.’ If the two words are associated for long enough it’s obviously going to have an effect on how people think about Muslims.
The E.U. has moved to combat global terrorism by instituting common European arrest and evidence warrants and creating a joint situation center to pool and analyze intelligence.
Donald Trump has come under fire for recommending U.S. citizens accused of terrorism be prosecuted before military tribunals. But despite the criticism, Trump’s concerns are not only merited – they are, in fact, within the bounds of the law.
Terrorism, to me, is the use of terror for political purpose, and terror is indiscriminate murder of civilians to make a political point.
When we think of the major threats to our national security, the first to come to mind are nuclear proliferation, rogue states and global terrorism. But another kind of threat lurks beyond our shores, one from nature, not humans – an avian flu pandemic.
Part of this new world of completely improvisational terrorism is that there were codes of war that disintegrated in the face of terrorism.
The enemy is not just terrorism. It is the threat posed specifically by Islamist terrorism, by Bin Ladin and others who draw on a long tradition of extreme intolerance within a minority strain of Islam that does not distinguish politics from religion, and distorts both.
When the new wave of terrorism came on the modern world, which is the late 1960s, early 1970s, I think we spent about a decade, the United States and our allies, trying to figure out how to deal with it.
In the name of the rule of law, democracy and human rights, we cannot accept that the rights of individuals (Arab or Muslim) be trampled upon, or that populations are targeted and discriminated against in the name of the war against terrorism.
We succeeded in fighting terrorism – we will succeed in reconstruction.
Palestinian terrorism has to be rejected and condemned, yes. But it should not be translated defacto into a policy of support for a really increasingly brutal repression, colonial settlements and a new wall.
I’m over here with the French counterterrorism experts talking about the ‘Charlie Hebdo’ case, how we can stop foreign fighters from coming out of Iraq and Syria to Europe, but then we have this phenomenon in the United States where they can be activated by the Internet, and, really, terrorism has gone viral.
We’re never going to be able to get rid of terrorism, because there is always going to be evil in the world.
Terrorism takes us back to ages we thought were long gone if we allow it a free hand to corrupt democratic societies and destroy the basic rules of international life.

I think all members of Congress are very concerned about the fact that, while we want to see our law enforcement agencies have every means they can possibly have to combat terrorism, we’ve got to remember that we’ve had a Constitution in place for 225 years, and it has served us well.
Democracy is necessary to peace and to undermining the forces of terrorism.
My government accords top most priority to national security. Therefore, effective steps are being taken to tackle terrorism and naxalism.
War on terrorism reflects, in my view, a rather narrow and extremist vision of foreign policy for a superpower and for a great democracy with genuinely idealistic traditions.
The Republic will destroy terrorism.
Terrorism has once again shown it is prepared deliberately to stop at nothing in creating human victims. An end must be put to this. As never before, it is vital to unite forces of the entire world community against terror.
Although police terrorism plays a specific role on behalf of the state, it is not the totality of what state violence looks like or feels like in our communities.
We remain united with the British, and our allies around the world, in our resolve to defeat terrorism and bring those who commit these acts to justice.
On September 11 last year international terrorism entered a new dimension.
The U.N. brings everybody together. And without it, we can’t deal with Ebola or terrorism or climate change. But it’s 70 years old. It’s tired. It’s acquired a lot of bad habits. And often it feels like only new bad habits get added and old bad habits don’t get taken away.
First, his job approval ratings have been trending down for many months, a trend that has accelerated in recent weeks as the war on terrorism has been supplanted in the public’s mind by corporate scandals, stock market declines, and a growing sense of economic insecurity.
Putting together a counter- terrorism policy, it’s very easy to look at law enforcement or defense, military action or stopping the money flows or whatever, but the really difficult part is integrating all aspects of the policy, and I think she put a lot of emphasis on that.
On the issues of security and terrorism I am a total hawk.
To win the war on terror, we must know who our friends are and where our enemies are hiding. We can’t continue fighting terrorism using the same foreign policy blueprints that were in place before September 11th.

I’m not afraid of terrorism at all. I’m afraid of loss of our freedom, loss of mobility, loss of global comradeship.
I’m very much against war; I’m very much against terrorism of any kind. I find terrorism to be one of the most appalling things that can exist in society.
Indonesia is the world’s third-largest democracy. And we also have the world’s largest Muslim population. This demonstrates that democracy and Islam are not incompatible. Terrorism is not associated with any religion.
I found a religion that blended scientific reason with spiritual reality in a unifying faith far removed from the headlines of violence, destruction and terrorism.
Does Hollywood do movies about terrorism? Yeah. And why do they do that? Because it sells.
