The War on Error In Terror’s Mask, a paper written in the winter of 2001-2002, Michael Vlahos (Joint Warfare Analysis Department, Applied Physics Laboratory, Johns Hopkins University) argued that the West deeply misunderstands the issues in the ‘War on Terror’.
Terror’s Mask—in contrast—sought to show that what is called terrorism is deeply religious, even theological, in motivation. Instead of moving to Western notions about “sources of conflict”, Muslim radicals move to uniquely Islamic rhythms of History.
Vlahos has now written a commentary reviewing the original paper in the light of the subsequent invasion and occupation of Iraq.
