A Point of View - Waldron

In BBC NEWS | Magazine | A Point of View Brian Waldren seems to pick up a theme that the Gorse Fox was trying (poorly) to articulate.
Let's move on from what terrorists think, to what they hope to achieve. Put simply, they want to make the situation worse. This can take paradoxical forms. For instance, al-Qaeda and its associates believe in Islam. But nothing would please them more than that the non-Muslim population of Britain should turn on the Muslim minority.

and he goes on:
The overwhelming majority of Muslims in Britain don't support terrorism. Which is why al-Qaeda would welcome some riots in which Muslims were killed. It wants more recruits, not social peace in Britain.

The article does rather peter out, but makes some good points before it does.
