Abstract

What is the role that Islam plays in the war al-Qaida is currently waging? How significant is that role and how should the United States address this role in its strategy for combating terrorism? These questions will be viewed through a "thinking in time" lens and a "creative thinking" lens. This paper provides an understanding of the enemy and provides recommendations for how United States policy and strategy should address this issue.
