Asymmetry remains a poorly understood concept in the fight against Islamist terrorism. Generally defined as a difference in the means employed, its essence is more subtle and defies Western principles of warfare. Unlike symmetric conflicts, asymmetry operates within a "non-zero-sum game" logic, where the tactical success of one party feeds the strategic victory of its adversary. The concept of jihad is the illustration of an asymmetric strategy that the West has not understood or does not wish to understand. The fight against terrorism is conducted with new weapons, but according to the same principles as in the 1960s. By analogy with the martial arts, the West uses "karate", whereas this type of conflict requires "aikido". Drawing on current examples, "Jihad — The Asymmetry Between Fanaticism and Incomprehension" explains the foundations of jihadist asymmetry and why the West fails to defeat terrorism.
