"It would be a mistake to dismiss the terrorists as mere fools and heretics. They, too, view themselves as defenders of truth, justice and peace. So intensely so that they are willing to die - and kill - to pursue their version of justice. To preserve their understanding of truth. We call it insanity. They call it martyrdom."

Bangkok Post, THAILAND
