7. A so called war against terror is
the "perfect storm" scenario for the war mongers. A terrorist attack, unless they get really lucky in terms of weapons and timing, is very unlikely to threaten the power structure or the powerful. Terrorist targets will most likely be highly visible and destructive in the way of 9/11 but no such attack is likely to cause the US government to suddenly surrender.

What such attacks will do, or at least the neocons hoped for result, is to galvanize the populace into fear, enough fear that the voters will continue to support whatever adventure the war mongers tell them will lead to the ultimate victory, no matter how ill advised that adventure may be.

The goal is to foment enough ill will on both sides that the profiteers can continue their looting, the end timers will continue to see Christ's second coming on the horizon and the power brokers will keep power. Closing down the Wahabiest schools make no more sense to them than shutting up the Pat Robertsons since both serve the neocon agenda.
