4. Created by NGB/CFX Guarding America � Defending Freedom Winning the Long War on TerrorismWho is the enemy? A transnational movement of extremist organizations, networks and individuals who share a common purpose Primary enemy is al Qa�ida and their associated extremists Exploits Islam and uses terrorism, to include assassinations and murder as means to accomplish ideological ends � the overthrow and control of moderate nations Is supported by state and non-state actors � corrupt government officials, criminals and others who forge opportunistic �alliances of convenience� Exploits civil liberties, large immigrant populations and lenient immigration laws to hide in plain sight If supported by 1% of the Muslim population, equates to over 13 million dedicated to the extremist cause Key Point � The enemy consists of numerous violent extremists groups (and individuals) who are loosely affiliated in that they have a common purpose. Slide Purpose � Convey a general description of the nature of the enemy Other Points; The followers of Islamic radicalism are bound together by this extreme ideology, not by any centralized command structure. This makes it easy for a loose network to achieve �unity of effort� and difficult for any single military campaign to eradicate the threat, since ideas can�t be eliminated by guns alone. Other extremist organizations include; Jemaah Islamiya (JI), Anser al-Sunnah, Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC), Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, and Pakistan and Kashmiri militant groups It is a transnational movement � all societies have extremist but in this case they use violence to achieve ideological ends. We do not believe this is a global insurgency � it is a global movement. It does not have a central command and control. It is like beatle mania � a movement Al Qa�ida�s ideology is of the Sunni sect of the Salafist teaching which believe in the orthodox of Islam taught through the Wahabi schools but what is unique that it believe in Takfirism � those who don�t believe should be eliminated � no matter the background or religion. Not all Sunni Salafist are our enemy. What about the Shia � the fact is that before 911, more Americans were killed by Shia extremists than any other. But they have remained on the sideline predominately. But they also have a violent ideology that we must pay attention to. We say that the extremist exploits Islam and uses terrorism to include assassination and murder as a means to accomplish ideological ends. We further define terrorism as murder because it resonates with all societies � the unlawful taking of life. We further define the adversary as state and non-state supporters � some through ideology, some through financial or corruption.

37. Created by NGB/CFX Guarding America � Defending Freedom Struggle of Ideas Key Point � There is a struggle of ideas within the Muslim world. On one side, extremists believe that violence is the only option available to address the underlying conditions. They believe that the way to regain past glory is only by re-establishing strict Sharia Law over all Muslim populations Moderates, on the other hand, believe another option exists � peaceful political activism. They believe that the Muslim world is compatible with the west. That plurality, inclusion and tolerance are necessary. The battle is over the population. Will the Muslim world resort to violence and the return of 14th Century conditions or peaceful political activism and relevancy in the 21st Century? Briefing Points; Much of the extremist movement emerged out of the Afghan-Soviet war in the 1980s but has been fueled by larger social, political and ideological trends affecting Muslim populations around the globe for decades. Extremists believe that violence is necessary to defend Islam from perceived aggression and subjugation of the Muslim population. We must try to define some of the ideologies that reside within Islam � on the far left, for example, we have secular Islam and as you move right we have moderate � mainstream Islam � defined by the principles tolerance, plurality, inclusion. Differences are solved through dialogue. As you move further right, you have an element that are traditionalist � the orthodox of Islam predominate is all aspects of life. On the far right, we have an extremist element of Islam which believes in the principles under the red arrow � Violent Extremists. Overarching in the struggle is how you deal with globalization and incursion of western culture. How does each side attempt to approach these issues? The moderates approach it from a form of dialogue. They may not accept it but there is room for plurality and discussion. Extremist would say that we must establish and Islamic state such as a Taliban state to stop western incursion and modernity into the Muslim world. The extremist exploit current global trends such as the information revolution, mass migration and high Muslim birth rates, extremist education, the sensationalism of violence throughout societies, and the incursion of Western culture through globalization to incite hatred throughout Muslim lands. The side who best resonates with the population will shift the bell curve either to the right or the left. Only if a peaceful option exists, will moderates resonate with the population. If the population perceives no choice but violence to address their grievences, the curve will continue to shift to the right. Who resonates today with the population? Who has the world stage?
