Fighting terrorism is not unlike fighting a deadly cancer. It can't be treated just where it's visible - every diseased cell in the body must be destroyed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Islamist terrorism is a cancer on Islam, and Muslims themselves must fight it at our side.
The terrible thing about terrorism is that ultimately it destroys those who practice it. Slowly but surely, as they try to extinguish life in others, the light within them dies.
Terrorism can never be accepted. We must fight it together, with methods that do not compromise our respect for the rule of law and human rights, or are used as an excuse for others to do so.
Terrorism needs to be fought against and certainly delegitimized or attacked, but some of the underlying grievances that might in fact lead individuals astray to terrorism cannot be ignored.
Fighting a war on terrorism is like fighting against crime. We can never hope to eradicate crime, so we shouldn't bother fighting it.
The fight against international terrorism isn't just a fight against a bunch of misguided extremists; it is a fight to defend the values that we hold dear.
We must fight terrorism as if there's no peace process and work to achieve peace as if there's no terror.
The war against terrorism is terrorism.
I say if you fight terrorism, it's based in fear, but if you promote peace, it's based on hope.
Terrorism is not a public health threat, relative to cancer and heart disease and malaria and so forth.
