I am a white british atheist and I will try and debate this on all sides, as that is the only way to truly understand the problem

it's called a staged terrorist attack... I'm willing to bet cash money that the MOSAD or MI5 or MI6 are involved.. These attacks were done to take the attention off the Downing Memo regarding the pre-planned military attacks on Iraq.....
do you really think that a someone would risk treason just to save blair reputation?
If anything this attack has had the potential to damaged blair

If someone is attacked for no reason, then they are justified in declaring war on them, why does it have to be a "holy" war? People are not attacking Islam,
I agree with most of the things that you are saying however there is a degree of motivation however let me state that i do not agree with the method of rasing awareness let me explain : the Muslims fanatical groups were founded on the believe that western culture made their own people selfish and greedy and if it wasnt halted then it will destroy the Muslim way of life. This theology was helped by the fact that Egypt was becoming more and more western like.
Now the founder (I not sure of his name) was arrested and tortured for a few years and when he came out he recognized the fact that this culture did not only make the people selfish rather it also made them barbaric and thus cannot be saved. He then applied this idea to the Muslim leaders and if they sided with the left way of thinking then they can be killed without any come back. His group thought that the people were being trapped and would follow an uprising so they tried to caused this by killing the Egyptian leader. However the masses did not follow and so they believe that the people were long gone and all they could do was keep trying to shock the population via suicide bombings. Looking at this concept we can say that The jihad of Europe group didnt care about race, religion etc etc as they felt that most of the people were to far gone however they cared about disrupting the economics of this country and try to inspire terror and fear.
I personally feel that alquida is not at all powerful as it claims as if it was then surely there would be more attacks wouldnt there?
I think that I went off on a tangent their but let me finish off by saying that according to the British documentary the power of nightmares (search for it on the bit torrent if you really are interested in the Islamic and neo conservative ideology and movement) politicians use nightmares of terrorism in a way to inspire fear and terror so that the population has a unique destiny and thus avoid selfish behavior which threaten to tear the government apart from liberism (see American history in the 50s/ power of nightmares)
*talk about going off on a tangent :-S*
