Argues that al-Qaeda is a convenient label applied indiscriminately by the West to the far broader - and thus more dangerous - phenomenon of Islamic militancy. Eradicating a few individuals or a group is not an effective approach to combatting terrorism. Calls for wider long-term efforts to identify and resolve the underlying causes of disappointment and perceived injustice in the Islamic world.
