A Sri Lanka national who studied in Britain and Australia.
Explain your logic on how you think Britain " exported " him? I am at a complete loss with your way of thinking.

Britain exports arms to regimes regularly, not sure about the market for exporting terrorists though, what's the going rate for a terrorist these days?

Of course, the US government is the largest international arms exporter in the world with plenty of dealings with countries who would otherwise be considered to harbour terrorists, often through 3rd party contractors. Almost every nation with an advanced economy has an international arms trade.
How many terrorists do you think had some form of education in the US? Just because someone did a degree in a country doesn't mean that country is responsible for their acts.
This is an obvious troll thread designed to stir up UK vs US sentiment which happens every time this type of subject is brought up.
The list of terrorists Britain is exporting is huge.
I believe that any state exporting terror should be fined huge amounts of money and plonked in the dock.

The US is indeed the biggest arms exporter, by value. Not many terrorists can afford an F35 though. The big problem with terrorism is access to AK47s, RPGs, explosives and ammunition. These arms originate in China, Russia and a bunch of other countries. Indeed, the AK47 has probably caused more misery that any weapon, ever.
Now back to topic. It's the height of silliness to accused Britain of exporting terrorism to Sri Lanker, when one of the many involved happened to have studied in the UK. If he was radicalised in the UK then that's a problem, but hardly a policy. If he was radicalised in the UK, then he would just be one of many easily manipulated twats taken advantage of by people who don’t share British values.
Look what liberalism has done to the West. It should be made illegal too (tongue in cheek statement of course and emphasis for effect)
Liberalism is a political and economic doctrine that emphasizes individual autonomy, equality of opportunity, and the protection of individual rights (primarily to life, liberty, and property), originally against the state and later against both the state and private economic actors, including businesses
