For this reason, the war on terrorism must be con-
ducted within the rules of international law and by the use
of peaceful but effective measures. Every activity that ig-
nores the law and human rights, especially when it is caus-
ing civilian deaths, will cast a shadow over this war, even
if it began as a just cause. It is important for the American
leadership to remember such facts when determining its
strategy, for it is the ideology of terrorism that must be de-
stroyed. The so-called "Islamic terrorism" thought to be be-
hind 9/11 feeds off radical groups that seek to use Islam as
a so-called justification for their quest for violence.
When the ideological structure of or education un-
dergone by these groups are examined, one immediately
sees that they possess a Darwinist mindset. There is there-
fore no significance to the way these groups claim to act
supposedly in the name of Islam, because they actually
have Darwinist mindsets. What is needed before all else is
a powerful intellectual campaign against Darwinism and
for people to be taught true religious moral values and the
love, affection and compassion that lie at the heart of the
Qur'an.
It is mainly the Muslims themselves who should re-
place these mistaken views with the correct understand-
ing of Islamic principles and prevent those who misun-
derstand Islam from acting upon their rage. Thus,
American policy should support a solution from within
the Islamic world. As we have stated all along, forming the
Turkish Islamic Union is the only realistic solution.
It is in America's best interest to adopt this approach,
not to mention within the best interest of the Islamic world
