No not them, but it will give them a strong base of supporters in their homeland.
Why do you think organisations like Hamas or Al Qaida still get support from normal people? Because these people continuously get an impression of 'the enemy' which is very bad. It doesn't always have to be the truth, but when there is some truth this will be pumped up to huge proportions.
and I am not talking about the people in the mountain regions in Afghanistan. I am talking about the people in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Marokko etc. people that live in relative prosperity and have the money to support terrorism, people that also can get their hands on objective news sources or at least different news sources (arabian and western).
