Scott Atran
Scott Atran is an anthropologist and a leading expert on terrorism and violence.  He is interviewed by Chris Mooney. Scott Atran has worked with terrorists and Islamic fundamentalists, as well as political leaders. He is author of the book "Talking to the Enemy: Faith, Brotherhood, and the (un)Making of Terrorists". See the book review by Al Mckay who is an Associate Editor of e-International Relations.

The word "terrorism" is politically and emotionally charged, and this greatly compounds the difficulty of providing a precise definition. In today's context, a terrorist would be a Muslim that strongly opposes the U.S. empire.
