Return of Al-Qaida - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

^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.

Russia, France, Belgium, Indonesia, India, Australia, Denmark, England come quickly to mind also.

And I have no idea what is happening in Dearborn, Michigan, USA.

Or to anybody, anywhere who has been perceived as a "blasphemer", ie "insults" the Prophet.

And as for armed groups fighting Western influence, corruption or repression in Asia and Africa.

the daily endless car bombings and tit-for-tat killings of Muslim v Shiia groups by car bombings, over WHO is the "real" muslims, those I fail to see any cause or correlation between all that and the innocent men women and children that suffer daily injury and death who live among them.

According to PBS Frontline, they have been opening up friendly neighborhood offices back and forth between Afghanistan, Pakistan and the Sudan......most likely due to extreme heat in those areas at times.

Al Qaeda functioned both on its own and through some of the terrorist organizations that operated under its umbrella, including: Egyptian Islamic Jihad, which was led by Ayman al-Zawahiri, and at times, the Islamic Group (also known as "el Gamaa Islamia" or simply "Gamaa't"), and a number of jihad groups in other countries, including the Sudan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Somalia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bosnia, Croatia, Albania, Algeria, Tunisia, Lebanon, the Philippines, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, and the Kashmiri region of India and the Chechnyan region of Russia. Al Qaeda also maintained cells and personnel in a number of countries to facilitate its activities, including in Kenya, Tanzania, the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, Malaysia, and the United States.

Most, if not all recent terror events have links to some type training camps in these listed countries.
I think Al Qaeda appears to be a little more widespread and organized than a generic term on the nightly news.

If you study what Mao did in China you will see they are following in his footsteps. Mao saw a people that were suffering under the combination of warlords and whatever was passing for a government in China and jumped into the middle of it. If he was going to take over he had to have the people behind him first and he was not that concerned about their support. He just didn't want them to oppose him.

China did not have any history of regular elections, so when Mao took over he was just another warlord in the east trying to run a bunch of small fiefdoms, or so everyone in the fiefdoms thought.

Some in Al-Queta knows it has to do the same. It is easier to get the population to follow you if they love you than if they see you as someone who is constantly making their lives worse. Those that decide to roll in and take over through force have found the population, no matter where they have tried this, to be quite resistant to the savage behavior a lot of those in Al-Queta seem to think is the pathway to a better life.

The Chairman took it a little further and exterminated some 70 million of his countrymen who didn't want to play ball.

Of course he did, but you might notice he did not tell anyone he was planning on doing this.

And before he could he had to have total power, and to get that he followed the plans laid out by his Soviet sponsors.

Those that think Al-Queta has anything different in mind for them should pick up a history book and read about this era.

But Mao appealed to the masses greed in that he said he could give them something they had never had. The fact that he could never deliver on this promise didn't keep him from making it. Al-Queta says they will restore the Caliphate; why let facts get in the way of taking over the locals?

A Rose by any other name.....and so on.

So the West also uses propaganda. Is that unexpected?

The majority of Germans were not members of the NAZI Party but that did not stop the NAZIs from starting a War; and not being a NAZI Party Member did not keep the non-NAZIs safe from death and destruction.

Other ways of interpreting the statement in red:
Al-Qaida has gone more underground because they are afraid of attacks.
What the USA and Allies are doing is working.

Think of Al-Qaida as if they were one of the Gangs in a City.
The Law Enforcement cannot just barge in and start killing the Gang Members.

So even if it is expensive and a never ending job.

The result is that while the Gang is never eradicated but Law Enforcement does effect a retardation of the Gangs ability to operate.

So If I followed Your logic I would say since Law Enforcement cannot defeat the Gangs Money and other resources are wasted and We should leave the Gang alone.

I think logic like that would just allow the Gang to grow exponentially.

A good example would be Chicago in the 20's. Al Capone and those like him took care of the Police and the Police looked the other way. Everything was great unless you were a small businessman Capone was shaking down for 10% of your profits as 'insurance' money each week.

(And Anas asked the Messenger, "And how does one help an oppressor?" And the Messenger replied, "By hindering him from doing wrong.")

I am not following what you said. In Your example the Police became part of the Gang and allowing it to grow. In My example the Policed are fighting the Gang attempting to get rid of the Gang.

I was trying to point out that you were expressing the correct view on the subject. It is easy to go with the flow and take the payoff. The problem for the police in such an example is that while the police may think the gangs are just going for a small piece of the pie in reality they want it all and the police are just dupes. By the time they figure this out it is too late. A few cities in Mexico are good examples of this.

But the police never become a part of the gang since they would just be in the way. If they just do nothing... That's what the gangs are paying for. The gangs don't need any help, they just need a free hand.
