The term ''War on Terror'' is an oxymoron since war itself involves terror. The big governments which has waged the war are themselves the terrorists, possessing immense military and using cruel means to achieve domination like Asymmetric Warfare, Torture Chambers etc. The term, similar to the terms ''peacekeeping missile'', ''preemptive strike'' etc., is meant to mislead the people of the world and gain their support for world domination. With over 10,00,000 recorded casualties caused by the proponents of the War on Terror, if indeed the war has to be carried on terror, it has to be waged back on those who have caused the damages in its name. |

China's role as a main participant
To justify China's place as a main participant in War on Terror, The provided references are woefully short. One is about Philippines' invitation to China for combating Abu-Sayyaf Group's piracy network and the other one is just a link about Chinese persecution of the Ethnic Uyghur minority in Xinjiang (China confiscating their passports). How does that make China a main participant in this war? It's War on Terror, not War on Muslims so state persecution against Muslim minority doesn't really make you a *main participant* in War against Terror. The Chinese haven't undertaken any major commitment so far against Terrorism globally since 2001. Even a small country like Afghanistan has contributed more to the War on Terror than China has. Instead of listing the permanent members of the Security Council as main participants, I propose that we should list the countries who are actually the largest contributors and main participants in the war which would be US, UK, France, Russia, Iraq, Syria, Pakistan and Afghanistan. -- Aeg0n94 (talk) 07:57, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
- A good point. When did Permanent members of the United Nations Security Council all get listed in the infobox? What is the consensus of that change (made some point after 15 June 2015)? What verifies that all nations are "Main participants"?--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 17:10, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
- I don't agree. China is a major participant. Framing China's activities as something else is bias.--Jack Upland (talk) 08:45, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
I accept the mission for China as a main partcipant Ericrashm (talk) 16:57, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
- Wich 'mission', can you explain?Shadow4dark (talk) 09:12, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
- I agree, are there any sources that support China's role in this 'war'? Jtbobwaysf (talk) 07:56, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
- We need more sourcesShadow4dark (talk) 09:10, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
- Agreed with @Shadow4dark:, if there are not reliable sources that support China as a significant participant in this conflict, they should be removed per WP:BURDEN.--RightCowLeftCoast (Moo) 03:41, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
- @RightCowLeftCoast:, china is fighting only internal conflict and this.
- Agreed with @Shadow4dark:, if there are not reliable sources that support China as a significant participant in this conflict, they should be removed per WP:BURDEN.--RightCowLeftCoast (Moo) 03:41, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

- Well if no one can give a good reason I shall go ahead and make changes.Slatersteven (talk) 09:05, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
Can someone move Hamas out of ISIL?
I'm talking about the list in the infobox. I tried to do it myself multiple times, but I'm getting a 404 error. Thanks. William2001(talk) 18:40, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
- I'll move Hamas out of ISIL. 156.209.118.201 (talk) 18:58, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
Location of Hamas
Hello. I accidentally reverted an IP edit because I failed to see the edit summary. I have corrected the mistake, but I do want someone with knowledge on this subject to check the location of Hamas to make sure it is not misplaced. Thank you. William2001(talk) 01:33, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
