He was successful at directing insurgent attacks against Shi'ites and initiating a controversial plan to sow sectarian strife in Iraq...

It is high time the British and U.S. governments go after the root cause of the jihadist problem, namely the fundamentalist mullahs and Islamist preachers who hide behind a fa?ade of being religious men as they sow seeds of hatred and violence among young Muslims.
