From: Monty Solomon <monty () roscom com> Subject: Hearts of Terrorists Hearts of Terrorists Aired: Friday, August 22, 2003 Jessica Stern bravely ventured into the hearts of Muslim fundamentalists organizations in Pakistan, Gaza, and Indonesia. She met with a vast array of extremist groups, including both the Jewish Underground in Hamas in Israel, the creator of the Taliban in Pakistan, and a former commander of the Covenant, the Sword, and the Army of the Lord in a trailer park in Texas. Military solutions, she warns, will not bring down religious terrorism, and in many cases, it will only work as a rallying cry to strengthen the terrorists' cause. In a sharply-worded New York Times Op-Ed, Stern warns that the bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad was the latest evidence that America has taken a country that was not a terrorist threat and turned it into one. http://www.nytimes.com/2003/08/20/opinion/20STER.html Guests Jessica Stern, lecturer at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, author of "Terror in the Name of God: Why Religious Militants Kill" http://www.onpointradio.org/shows/2003/08/20030822_a_main.asp http://realserver.bu.edu:8080/ramgen/w/b/wbur/onpoint/2003/08/op_0822a.rm?start=00:00
