Fear is the lifeblood of terrorism, and we all fear the unknown.  So there’s no better counter to terrorism than simply spreading understanding.

Because terrorism only works when you freak out.  And people only freak out when they don’t understand what’s going on – the true nature of the threat, and where it’s really coming from.  That terrorists as individuals are – often as not – pretty fucking dim.   That terrorism as a concept only gains any meaning when it’s discussed in a specific context, and that it can only be examined from one perspective at a time.

That’s why Tremble the Devil is posted up online for free: in the hope that when the next attacks hit they’ll be a little less effective, because after reading the book you’ll understand terrorism a little bit better and freak out a little bit less.
