| Future of Terrorism Symposium (Yours Truly is a Participant) |
| 2005-04-22 |
| A new deadly strain of terrorism is on the horizon. How can we defeat it? To discuss the future of terror with us today, Frontpage Symposium is joined by a distinguished panel: Evan Kohlmann, the author of Al-Qaida's Jihad in Europe and founder of Globalterroralert.com. He is currently scheduled to testify as an expert witness on behalf of federal prosecutors in the upcoming trial of alleged jihad recruiter Ali al-Timimi in northern Virginia; Simon Reeve, a New York Times bestselling author and television presenter. His book The New Jackals: Ramzi Yousef, Osama bin Laden and the Future of Terrorism, which warned of a new age of apocalyptic terrorism, was the first in the world on bin Laden and al Qaeda; Dr. Rohan Gunaratna, the author of Inside Al Qaeda: Global Network of Terror. He is Head of the International Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism Research at the Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies in Singapore; and Dan Darling, a counter-terrorism consultant for the Manhattan Institute's Center for Policing Terrorism. He is considered the terrorologist of the blogosphere. Visit his blog at Regnum Crucis. |

| #15 RM - A favorite commenter on Fox. He gets so worked up sometimes that he almost loses it, heh, but one thing is certain: he knows whereof he speaks and pulls no punches. Thx for the tip! |

| #14 How's about we get everyone in the US government to read: They Just Don't Get It : How Washington Is Still Compromising Your Safety--and What You Can Do About It -- by COLONEL DAVID HUNT I hear him on the radio yesterday. Now that guy wants to take action! |

| #12 Dan - I'd say that the use of our institutions against us by CAIR, et al, might be the largest threat we face. Bush & Co have done a credible job of either containing (NorK, PakiWakiLand, etc.) or dismembering and fragmenting (flypaper in Iraq was an unexpected bonus - thx, jihadis!) the Islamists. Internally, however, we are not doing so well and have lost some legal battles. It's easier to frighten people with vague charges about the Patriot Act and that they're suddenly going to have barcodes tatooed on their forearms than it is to get them worked up about the rights of jihadis on the battlefield.

| #11 A junior...hmmm. Perhaps a tad old for trailing daughter #1, but... can you cook? ;-) (Not to worry, I'm not really one of that kind of mother.) |

| #10 How can we defeat it? Dan, can we pass on suggestions for you to bring up before the panel? Like "kill them all"? |

| #9 Dan, Please pay attention to the increasingly blurred line between ideologically-motivated terror groups and international criminal organizations (see FARC, IRA, etc). The point isn't that terror is just a police problem, or a "nuisance" that "we'll just have to get used to" (as per that moron who went down to defeat last Nov) but that the m.o. for terror groups now includes 1) advanced cross-border organizational and funding tactics perfected by international crime rings; and 2) gangster justice and other forms of takeover of local political institutions |

| #6 Dan the Terrorologist, and TGA who knows the new Pope? This place is CONNECTED! Dan, I hope you have good points on the abuse of religion as ideaology for terror. This seems to be something that the "experts" are loathe to discuss, unless it involves Catholocism and the IRA (which fortunately has gone out of vogue as people have seen the IRA to be completely political and non-Christian). I guess we Irish Cahtolics are fair game, but Wahabbi Saaudi Islamists get a free pass... unitl now (go Dan!) |
