Very interesting comments.
We're certainly moving towards common ground
You say "and this scaremongering is being used to impose control on the population for the greater good, but don't you think that the Islamists also know this?".
Firstly I would never use the term "greater good" - there is nothing good about false flag terrorism at all - in fact that term is normally used by governments to convince it's military to impose tyranny on it's populations - very sick !
You ask "don't you think that the Islamists also know this?".
Difficult to answer because if you take the first Bali bomb or isolated bodily attacks on say the vicar here, they may well think they are doing it for Islam or doing it in a just cause against their "enemy" - so in this way yes, there are some cases.
Having said that you have to be extremely careful with these news reports including eye witness reports that can often be created out of thin air.
Although some are involved in terror and it is undoubtedly wrong you have to wonder how much of it is down to real islamic terrorists.
It's difficult to gauge but if you consider 7/7, 9/11 and the large 2nd bali bomb were not caused so much by islamic terrorists, but they were patsies used by the governement, it makes me think it's very possible their involvement is grossly exagerrated.
Government agencies will often target mentally disturbed individuals to do their dirty work for them or simply just set them up and frame them later.
What I don't get too is that if the terrorism threat is very real from extremists why there haven't been any attacks in Britain since ?
We hear about folied attempts and 7/7, 9/11 but in reality it would be very easy for a terrorist to blow himself up, but it hasn't happened yet - not even in 7/7 and 9/11.
To be honest your theory about miscalulation isn't one that I've really heard in any depth before - it's difficult for me to answer because you probably have looked into it more than me.
My first impression is it would be difficult for them to overcome the weight of western power and intelligence in this country but I could be wrong.
Do you mean an Islamic uprising in this country by hand ?
Or do you mean a world war/military conflict involving Saudi Arabia ?
How do you think it could happen ?
