OPINION: AQ has been losing at home and abroad with very little media coverage on this fact.
The jihadis use the internet for communications/support/propaganda/recruiting/financing/training/online terrorist courses, etc.
The truth is the jihadis want to convert us to Islam/harm us/kill us — depends on which jihad site/jihad supporting site one looks at.
So the questions to ask are:
Can they kill us?
Do they have the means to do so now?
Will they kill more of us here and abroad?
How will they do it?
Will it continue to be jihadis who are “mentally ill,” “lone jihadis” trained on the internet, “sudden jihadis” who acted in the heat of the moment, “radical extremists” recruited by “extremist literature,” etc, ad nauseum?
Yes the jihadis hate us.
Yes, they would attack if they could.
Time will tell.
