Islamic groups: militants and moderates

The 'war on terrorism' has produced a scramble to identify Islamist groups that might be associated with Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda, or have similarly destructive aims. Most groups don't have such international agendas. Dealing with them intellectually is the task for moderate Muslims. This must be accompanied by Muslim governments tackling issues of internal reform. To the west falls the task of convincing Muslim men and women in the street that they are not victims of its policies.
