It is totally wrong to assert that terrorism has no ideology. If you are trying to say that we should not be feeling ourselves close to this or that form of terrorism on grounds of any perceived ideological affinity, that instead we should be equally hostile to each and every one of them, fine, but then do say so, and you would be in the right and we would all agree with you. But please do not claim that terrorism has no ideology, for actually all terror does have an ideology behind it. In fact, it is far closer to the truth to say that without ideology, there would be no terror.
