Terrorist groups are not examples of a learning organizations. Terrorists are brainwashed idiots with fixed ideas. Learning organizations are constantly learning and reexamining ideas. Learning organizations prosper, while terrorist groups are incompetent and so can only plunder and destroy like barbarians.

A. Terrorists don't learn. They operate on fixed ideas that do not change.
B. Terrorist groups have strong beauracracies operating under a dictatorship, while knowledge sharing is impossible under those conditions.
C. Knowledge management values knowledge that adds value, better products, innovation and a better world. Terrorists destroy to support fixed ideas.
D. The only things these two have in common is that both use electricity sometimes. KM is about people, not about wires. It's about being able to recognize knowledge that is valuable and can create valuable products, and reexamining old ideas. A learning organization has to be able to learn, and survive by producing valuable products to meet customer needs.
