As I've been saying for the last 5 years.
And we are losing because of mentalities that make comments like (see below) ". We have to hope we can turn the corner by winning hearts and minds of moderate Muslims."

In the confidential document, intelligence chiefs warn that al-Qaeda is making a powerful comeback across the world. They also say there is a "far greater" number of UK-based fanatics prepared to launch suicide attacks than previously thought. Last month Home Secretary John Reid said 30 major terror plots in Britain were investigated. The latest report, which is marked "Restricted" and is dated February 7, says: "The scale of AQ's (al-Qaeda's) ambitions towards attacking the UK and the number of UK extremists prepared to participate in UK attacks are even greater than we had previously judged. "The UK will remain a target of concerted efforts by AQ and others... and further attacks are highly likely." It adds: "We still believe that AQ will continue to seek opportunities for mass casualty attacks against soft targets and key infrastructure. These attacks are highly likely to include the use of suicide operatives." The document, circulated in Whitehall, Scotland Yard and MI5, warns the terror group has members in virtually every Muslim country in the world. It says Afghanistan will overtake Iraq as the world's main terrorist hotbed and will attract Muslim Jihadi fighters from around the world. The report also claims the group's Pakistan branch is better funded than ever, is "effective" in Iraq and is starting new groups in countries like the Yemen. A senior minister said last night: "It's grim news. We have to hope we can turn the corner by winning hearts and minds of moderate Muslims." The report also warns that British troops in Afghanistan will face increasing attacks. Meanwhile, in Habbaniyah, Iraq, 50 miles from Baghdad, 40 died when a fuel tanker rigged with explosives blew up. FOUR women are to be executed in Iraq for crimes committed by their men. The young mums will be hanged in six days as "accomplices" to murders and kidnappings.
