Military Force Alone Can Never Defeat Terrorism


James Miller, RFE: The Military Alone Will Never Defeat Terrorism

Ahmad Khan Rahami nearly became a household name. Instead, he will likely fade from memory.

WNU Editor: Combating ideologies that embrace violence as a means to spread their ideology has been a part of the human condition since the beginning. In today's world we are faced with many who have embraced the more radical and violent aspects of Islam .... and many are now suffering because of it .... particularly within the Muslim community itself. Fortunately .... if history is any guideline .... radical and violent ideologies do get defeated in the end. But the final nail in the coffin will only occur when the paradise that they preach never becomes realised. I saw it with Communism when the Soviet Union fell apart .... and I suspect that in a few more generations many Muslims will also see it when radical Islam is finally vanquished.
