How do the Long Term goals and short term strategies of Al-Qaeda effect your political beliefs?

Question

Do you know what those goals and strategies are?

Zawahari (Al-Qaeda #2) released a video on the 4th of July 2007 which in part stated their goals. He also made statements concerning Iraq.

In my article entitled "Know Your Enemy-101" I highlighted those goals and strategies. http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-DfkctJU7dK5B7LcNROoyVQ--?cq=1

Can you tell me what they are?

If you are unwilling to research what the enemy wants, can you say that they don't effect you?

Answer 1

Their presence doesn't affect my political beliefs. I kow they are attempting to achieve Dar Al-Islam (world under Islam) by establishing a Caliphate stretching from the Iberian Peninsula to Indonesia and Malaysia. I know they consider all modern societies to be Jihali societies filled with corruption and false beliefs. I also know they adhere to the heresy of Takfir and think it is permissible in the carrying out of Jihad for Muslim to kill Muslim. I know that many have performed hijra (voluntary expatriation for the purpose of conducting Jihad) and that they consider this time to be Dar Al-Harb (a world at war).

So, beyond posting some link, how much do you know about the enemy?

Answer 2

Long term: I've learned that over the past 20 years we cannot trust the presidency to a democrat; then we're screwed.

Short term: We CAN be united as a country, but as of now I unfortunately think we need another swift kick in the ***.

Americans need to know more than whatever mike moore tells them and learn that we need to fight for our freedoms we take for granted.

Answer 3

Knowing Al-Qaeda is on the move again, with the strength to start making valid plans again, lets me know I don't want a Democrat in office. They wouldn't know even the first thing about going to war, they have been protesting wars for nearly 50 years now. However, I don't want another War Monger Bush in office either.
