#2 "unwittingly, they accord terrorists an ideological respectability they do not deserve"

if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it's a duck. Protesting that fact doesn't change the basic fact.

so if it hates in the name of Islam, kills in the name of Islam and preaches in the name of Islam, well, you know.

A consensus on a definition of terrorism:
I'm sure attacks on Israeli civilians would conveniently be excluded from this definition.

Addressing the broader and structural issues including political and economic injustices
yes. the injustices perpetrated on Mohammed Atta, a student in Germany, were simply unconscionable. How could anyone live with such humiliation!? (i.e., Germany not being an islamic state).

Ensuring that counter-terrorism does not violate fundamental human rights or provoke a clash of cultures.
I would suggest just the opposite. fight fire with fire. Kill them and theirs as they kill us and ours. Clash of cultures? Heck... we need a clash of cultures -- theirs is sick and depraved and maladapted to exist in the world today.
