I totally believe in the "war on terror", the threat is real. It's just idiotic actions by this government that not only do nothing to address it but actually make it far worse that I have a problem with.

But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

UK and US policy (e.g. pointless wars) has created these new radicals there is no doubt about it.
These wars have been far from pointless, they have been lucrative bonanzas for the Millitary Industrial complex.
With the fall of the Soviet Union, faced with dwindling order books, a new enemy was required to halt the so called Peace Dividend.
The recent millitary budgets awarded from the US government to industry are the biggest ever, which is odd given that the new enemy does not have a standing army.
But a small detail.
The Wars also enabled the arms industry to test their new weaponry in the field on soft targets ie insurgents and civillians,so they could be deemed to be Battle Tested.
Another big selling point.
