Terrorism and the City

My next book, Designing our Way to a Better World, which the University of Minnesota Press will publish this spring, draws from my Huffington Post blog and here is a link to my latest post. It looks at traditional Islamic cities as a way to understand why Islamic terrorists have targeted cities, what sites they may likely focus on in the future, and how their networks work and what it will take to defeat them. Cities are not just physical artifacts, but also reflections of what we believe and how we think and so they provide a revealing document that we need to learn how to read in order to understand ourselves - and our enemies:     http://www.huffingtonpost.com/thomas-fisher/terrorism-and-the-city_b_8628978.html
