"We in the West don't seem to understand the nature of Islamist terrorism or terrorists. We fail to comprehend that such terrorists, despite differences in doctrinal, religious, or political outlook, are linked very closely by their common use of deliberate violence against non-combatants for political purposes. Like a hydra-headed monster, Islamist terrorism finds its adherents united in a shared hatred of the West and its Greco-Roman, Judeo-Christian tradition of respect for the rights of the individual as well as the concept of democracy."
