20 years War on Terror: Lessons from 9/11

Lessons learnt from the War on Terror according to this book: Never underestimate the ideological basis of terrorism: Islamism. And with it legalistic Islam, which pursues its goal – to enforce Islam – with words and infiltration of Western societies.

An anthology points out mistakes and identifies reasons for the political failure against terror and legalistic Islamism.

20 years of counterterrorism measures have consumed enormous military resources – with rather moderate success. That is the conclusion of editors Sandra Kostner and Elham Manea. The reason: The measures targeted the symptoms, i.e. terror and violence, and left out the ideological basis of terrorism: Islamism. And with it legalistic Islam, which pursues its goal – to enforce Islam – with words and infiltration of Western societies.
