A very sigificant number of Muslims worldwide genuinely believe they have a God given duty to establish God's Islamic-state by any means at their disposal. Is their methodology inherently wrong, by some standard of natural law? If so, name that law and how you know it exists.
In the final analysis, there is no absolute natural standard, the real issue is "whats in the best interests of humanity as a whole". Objecting to Islamic terrorism in and of itself merely plays into their rationale. If you say "terrorism is wrong" they respond with "you are bombing, this is terror".
The real problem with terrorism is not that its demonstrably "wrong" but that its so successful and availble to anyone, which thus threatens the free-state. Islamic-states or other totalitarian regimes have lmuch less fear and expenditures related to terror because their systems insulate them from this methodolgy.
Theres no way to stop terror, only the community that uses it...which we havent the backbone to
