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.
