Return of Al-Qaida

How did al-Qaida, a tiny anti-communist group in Afghanistan that had no more than 200 members in 2001 become a supposed worldwide threat ?

When they flew planes into the WTC and killed 3000+ people?

They may have been bankrolled with Saudi money. Enabiling faster growth. They also established a para military structure. Motivation would not have been lacking either.

Madrassas schools teaching terrorism and serving hot meals, and a bunch of desperate post adolescent Muslim boyz who can't find a job, can't get laid and who are looking for SOME validation of their miserable, worthless lives.

Al-Qaida is a Myth.
It is actually the USA working with the Israelis committing all of those terrorist acts and blaming it on the Mythical group Al-Quida.

They discovered it was better to outsource the marketing department to the US government.

^Spot on.

How can al-Qaida be all over the Mideast, North Africa, and now much of black Africa ? This is after the US spent over $1 Trillion trying to stamp out al-Qaida in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The answer is simple.

As an organization and threat al-Qaida is barely visable. But as a name, al-Qaida and 'Terrorism' have become the West's handy universal term for armed groups fighting Western influence,corruption or repression in Asia and Africa.

Al-Qaida is nowhere-but everywhere.

Good point. Hillary claimed President Obama attended one.

Quote:
Insight Magazine, a subsidiary of the conservative Washington Times, recently reported that the presidential campaign of Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) had unearthed information showing that Obama was educated in an Indonesian madrassa during his childhood. The Clinton campaign disputes that it is the source of the story, and calls it “an obvious right-wing hit job.”
Obviously the work of evil right wingers.
