Shifting sands


Al-Qaeda as Enemy to the Muslim World -Walter Pincus

"More and more Muslim and Arab populations - [including] clerics and scholars - are questioning the value of al-Qaeda's program," Juan Carlos Zarate, deputy national security adviser for combating terrorism, said.

Zarate said al-Qaeda "should be revealed as being at war with Muslims, especially those who do not believe as they do."

"Victims of al-Qaeda terrorism are beginning to organize and are exposing the human toll of al-Qaeda's tactics." "These challenges from within Muslim communities and even extremist circles will be insurmountable at the end of the day for al-Qaeda."
