摘要 | Download the report. American strategy misunderstands and misdefines the enemy and therefore persists in a failed approach. The enemy is the Salafi-jihadi movement. The US has focused on retaking terrain, eliminating terrorist cells, and preventing terror attacks while the movement has focused on achieving its overall objectives by penetrating Sunni communities. They see themselves as the leaders, the vanguard, of a revolution that will first destroy the governments now ruling in the Muslim world and then bring leaders adhering to their ideology to power across the Muslim world. The terrorism they direct against the West is one of many tactics they use in this effort, but far from the most important from their perspective. The vanguard offers communities defense from perceived external threats or seeks to fill basic community needs to build relationships with those communities. Communities accept the Salafi-jihadi presence in exchange for this support. The movement is inherently dependent on conditions that weaken communities and on the communities’ own decisions to accept the vanguard. The US should focus on changing local conditions to prevent the vanguard’s ability to enter a community and on working with partners to provide the community with a viable alternative to the Salafi-jihadi vanguard. Breaking the bonds with Sunni communities will isolate the Salafi-jihadi vanguard again. |
