“Many of you may have thought that as soon as you got rid of [Osama Bin-Laden], slam dunk, problem gone. You are wrong,” explained former CIA operations officer and terrorism lecturer Brian Fairchild, speaking before a gathering of the Culpeper Minutemen chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) at the Rappahannock County Public Library on Tuesday. Fairchild spoke to the group about the often misunderstood relationship between Islam and terrorism, ' attaching meanings to some of the vocabulary words that often flash across cable news channel headline tickers.
“This is something we need to understand. We wanted to increase our understanding,” said DAR member Jane Volchansky. The Culpeper Minutemen, which is made up of DAR members from Culpeper, Madison, and Rappahannock counties, had been seeking an expert to educate them on terrorism and Islam since last year but all their prior attempts had fallen through. Fairchild gives versions of the same talk he gave the DAR to law enforcement officials and FBI agents as part of his work with the Higgins Counterterrorism Research Center. His talk focuses on dispelling myths about Islam and Islamic terrorists, and giving listeners a historical reference point for the current events they read about every day.
