Afterword


                                          The scourge of radicalism is currently
                                     afflicting the entire world, from the fur-
                                     thest point West to the furthest point East.
                                     When this problem first raised its head,
                                     many Western countries imagined it
                                     could be easily dealt with. But that is not

                                     what happened because radical Islam is a
                                     belief system nourished by fabricated
                                     hadiths and many Islamic countries and
                                     Islamic scholars believe in those fabricat-
                                     ed hadiths, even if they condemn war and

                                     violence. It is therefore very difficult for
                                     the solution to radical Islam to come from
                                     those countries and scholars.

                                          Using military means to deal with
                                     radicalism has been tried many times, and
                                     has failed on every occasion. It is a feeble
                                     and foolish policy that has slaughtered

                                     thousands of innocent people, has left
                                     thousands more without home or country
                                     and has inflicted even worse instability on
                                     countries. The main attribute of armed
                                     radicals is not their using their weapons
                                     well, but their following a false ideology.

                                     Seeking a solution only by killing, while
                                     ignoring their false ideology, will serve no
