I hope not!! I took you for a fellow free-thinker!
He's got to realise that it's populism that has boosted his chances and populism that will keep him there. No matter what the logic may be in his thinking about tackling terrorism, he needs to be seen to be as angry as the public over this, and - sadly - as vengeful in his stated desires to eliminate it. If he doesn't play and tries that game of semantics again by refusing to condemn islamic fundamentalism in particular, he's finished.
We're now in the very odd territory where a Labour leader can justifiably attack a Conservative one for not putting enough resources into policing. That's a pretty big weapon to have so close to the election, but not as big as the one I suspect he may use to shoot himself in the foot any day now - his own gob.

Even Corbyn's doing it. He knows Trident won't be replaced. The UK can't afford it and I think we are getting to the point where if it's pumping £40 billion into a missile system or the NHS and frail care the public will want the latter. Big Len wants Trident as its lots of well paid jobs for his members. The UK can neither afford or justify such an expense given the size of our debt and the state of public services. That's what Corbyn should be saying - it would win him millions of votes.
We have politicians without balls who listen to silver tongued spin doctors who are more worried about looking good on TV as opposed to have some conviction and real polices. I doubt the NHS would have been created today ..

He also said that he was working on the peace process - which may or may not be true. But if true then your statements above are incorrect.
I really don't understand your stance or the relevance for Nuclear missiles to this conversation. Nuclear bombs are a very emotive subject but they have never stopped any terrorist activity at all. I'd personally do away with them, I guess you wouldn't.
As to common sense - UK supports/supported Saudi Arabia/Egypt/ and has been involved in various other activities that have directly or indirectly resulted in the rise of ISIS, and other terrorist organisations.
Surely we should be addressing that as a concern, and to blithely ignore our own actions in the world is far more a sign of misjudgement than anything Corbyn has done.

A YouGov poll for The Times puts Labour on 38 per cent of the vote, up three points since the end of last week and the party’s best performance since Jeremy Corbyn became leader in September 2015.
The Conservatives are down one point to 43 per cent, the Liberal Democrats up one point to 10 per cent and Ukip up one to 4 per cent.
If the swing is replicated in every constituency Mrs May would lose seats and the Conservatives would have an overall majority of two, down from 17.
Corbyn could win ....
