Not really sure you can classify any group in the world "the devil". Because ask any opposing group about their opposition and they will all claim
it's work of the devil.

The "War on Terror" is an asymetric war.
And the west has fought it badly.
What we consider honour, dignity, charity, they (in the ME) see as a weakness to be exploited.
And they have. We now arm the Muslim Brotherhood, side with people who ally themselves with terrorist organisations, and give money to people so they can buy arms to kill us later.
We have the arms, but not the courage to use them. They are actually winning and the result of that will be more attacks in the west with the result being more loss of freedoms for the selfsame people fthe west is trying to protect.

I's difficult to win "hearts and minds" when you're shooting them. It's also difficult to appease the population when they can turn and kill you with no regard what so ever.
