Islamophobia as Counterterrorism Strategy?

Islamophobia refers to the fear of (and often times, hatred) Islam which is prevalent in the Western world as a result of the activities of extremists.It is evident in the mass media and the pronouncements of politicians,civil society groups and the military.Such terms as "Islamic fundamentalists","Islamic terrorists","Islamic extremists" etc are used frequently despite protestations by moderate Muslims and sound counter terrorist advice to the contrary.This suggests that there is more to it than meets the eye.

Terrorists love the tags given by western media and governments:they do not refute the stereotypes.Why?They benefit.Since terrorism is generally seen as Islamic,then all Muslims should join as recruits or provide funding for "projects".So,the western governments and their media are acting out the enemy's script.Terrorist propaganda somehow managed to sabotage western intelligence agencies such that they recruit for their own enemies by glorifying them.How security agents love the term "Jihadists","Mujahidin" (defenders of Islam).They can not accept that these terms are what the enemy calls himself and must be seen as lies. The special cognitive traps for intelligence analysis which were applied using the mass media and some infiltration (from the non members of Al Qaeda) on the practice of counter terrorism.Counter intelligence ought to identify this trend and neutralize it.

When one attempts the separation of terrorism and Islam,one encounters strange attacks.Yours truly visited an American Police forum and when he mooted the idea that Islam forbids several activities of Al Qaeda,he was described in rude terms,described as a crazy Muslim and locked out of the forum by administrators of the forum.When the same experiment was carried out in a Sunni forum,the reverse reaction was the case:he was labeled a iconoclast and heretic.
