As we have seen lately the terrorists have adapted new sophisticated techniques to stay one step ahead in their war against the West. By this I mean, that they have now started to use western educated and born people to their cause (like the shoe bomber, the attempted Christmas bombing, the so called Jihad Jane). It may be just a matter of time before they start to recruit people who live on the fringes of our society. The terrorists hate the West and everything it stands for and yet they have utilized western technology in spreading their cause. They are increasingly using the internet to recruit disenchanted youths, from time to time they release videos, and they use western weapons to spread their terror agenda.
It is thus not likely to say that we are not winning the war on terror, but we have certainly made a dent in their infrastructure. Due to the unrelenting and indiscriminating terror tactics without regard to religion or ages of their victims, they are started to being alienated from the general Muslim population. But still we need to be vigilant, since even if their support has been eroded in all Muslim countries, but it has not completely gone.
One thing I would like to point out here is that even if the Israel- Palestinian issue which they so strongly support and give their main cause of all the terror is resolved overnight, they will still not put down their weapons, since they want the whole world to adapt their ways or perish and in their struggle they will target all the moderate Muslims societies no matter what.
