US is using the wrong Paradigm to fight Islamic Terrorism.

US is using the wrong Paradigm to fight Islamic Terrorism.

The current paradigm is heavily reliant on COIN.

This paradigm is reactive and will never get ahead of

the curve demographically.
This seems to be an Info War problem.
Maybe a million of these?

We have tested the world Islamic demographic using

two different methods, and came to the same result,

less than one per cent 1% are terroristic violent 

inclined.

But given the world population of Muslis 1%

is around 1.2 million persons world wide.

That is a big enough demographic to assure

that our grandchildren are still going to be 

fighting a GWOT.

Another threat in fighting a GWOT with 
counter-insurgency operations is the threat

to privacy world wide, by developing the ability of States

to pry into every corner of civilians life's, 

looking for insurgents. Currently a big part

of COIN efforts. One of the biggest losses

in this GWOT is the loss of personal privacy.

And the movement of this ability into policing

operations of civil law enforcement.

Running after this 1% is a loosing proposition.

The fault lies in Islam's method of teaching 

Islam. One of the main tenants of Islam

is the memorizing of the Quaran.

There in lies its weakness, rather than teaching

an fundamental understanding of the religion,

they just memorize it. Leaving insurgents to 

quote parts of the Quaran and bastardized

interpretations of its meanings. 

And the ability to generate a 1% following

ad infinitum. Giving rise to the possibility

our Grandchildren will still be fighting a

GWOT.

And the loss of privacy and freedoms in the 

quest for the 1% insurgents.

COIN does not address the fundamental

underlying problems generating the Islamic

insurgency, just the symptoms.

 The current Islamic paradigm allows most

anyone. ie Taliban and the al qaeda cult to 

interpret the Quaran for their own means and 

ends. Generating a 1% following far into the 

foreseeable future.

The current COIN paradigm addresses this

issue indirectly by trying to win local hearts and minds

in a inefficient Info War.

While the terrorist need to run an 1% demographic

Info war, just enough to continue the insurgency 

they don't need to win ie 50%+, but just enough

to barely keep it going.

The worlds risk/reward ratio fighting the terrorist

far exceeds cost of the terrorist risk/reward ratios.

The COIN paradigm can't compete long term

against the insurgent paradigm, just in terms of 

costs and man power. There is a difference of better

than 10 to 1, in effort and costs.

And the risks to Islamic Governments will become

very apparent when US withdraws. 

Islam is shirking its responsibilities  and its

sloth will be very costly to the Islamic regimes.

UPDATE:
Islamic Education. The more people know about Islam, the less attractive they find extremist ideologies. Extremists rely on simplistic religious ‘proofs’ for their political positions. Muslims with more than rudimentary understanding of the Qur’an and Hadith (traditions concerning the Prophet Muhammad and his companions) recognize the simplicity and banality of these ‘proofs.’ This is not conjecture; former NII recruiters have told us that people with little religious education are the easiest targets and those frompesantren (traditional Islamic boarding schools) the most difficult.
