Why when it is already an Islamic country is Al Qaeda bombing Algeria?

Question

papuman200022. I didn't know that actually hence the question.

Answer 1

Because Al Qaeda and it's supporters are like spoiled children:  "either you play MY WAY or I'll take away the toys", they want *everything* their specific way or people risk being called "infidels"....

Answer 2

they have to practice somewhere  

Answer 3

Al qaeda is a waging a war in the name of "jihad". They sworn they are doing in this in the name of quaran. Their version of quaran is every Muslim and muslim who deviates from the path of islam has to be targeted. The west is the primary target for the terrorist(i.e U S A and its allies) because they are considered as a biggest threat to islam. Any nation owing allegiance to west also considered as non Islams.

We dont know whether this crooked behavior has actual support of majority muslims.

Answer 4

because they are idiots?

Answer 5

Great question Cookie.

I think that the 'cause' has been lost and that now it's merely a publicity campaign being waged by non-al-qaeda groups in the name if islam... they're real terrorists, bombing just because!

Answer 6

Because they are fighting the definitely non-Islamic Algerian army which took over the country in 1992 when it looked like Islamic parties were going to win national elections. There has been bloody fighting since then, and Al-Qaeda only recently joined the fray. In other words the Algerian bombings are part of Al-Qaeda's long stated goal to drive western backed military governments/dictatorships out of the Islamic world.  

Answer 7

It would seem your question has been fully answered, the only thing I can add is 'war is hateful'.

Answer 8

Is  it  an  islamic  country?  There  were  supposed  to  be  'free'  and  fair  elections,  but  when  it  was  found  that  the  muslims  were  going  to  win  the  elections  were  'discontinued'. Since  then  there  has  been  trouble  ever  since.  A  FACT  some  of the others  on  here  haven't  bothered  to  explain  to  you  and  something  you  probably  already  know  but  wanted  everyone  to  agree  with  you.

Answer 9

Since when has ANY of Al Quida's actions made any form of sense?!

They claimed that thier "message" was "striking back at the infidels that fight to keep Islam down"... but basically, thier message should be "Causing as much damage as possible to anybody who even slightly disagrees with us becasue we are media whores and demand publicity"... They're just like big kids in a sandbox... "Look at me... I'm more important than you are"...

Pathetic really.
