One choice is to look to those who actually worked in counterterrorism in the national security world.

Phil Gurski
In a world defined largely by Islamist, and to a much lesser extent, right wing terrorism it is important to remember that there are other forms that dominate in some regions. Hindu extremism/terrorism is a good example in India...and outside South Asia. Whether it is accusations by Hindu nationalists of 'love jihad' within the Indian Muslim community or attacks by 'cow vigilantes', the violence is serious.
