The World According To Al Qaeda

Since the most devastating attack on September 11, 2001, when 19 Al Qaeda operatives hijacked four passenger planes and drove two into the Twin Towers in New York city and one into the Pentagon, Osama Bin Laden has been the “most wanted man” and even children have at least some acquaintance with him. Founder of Al Qaeda in 1988, he has come to epitomize contemporary Islamist fundamentalist terrorism. He founded Al Qaeda to consolidate the international network he established during the Afghan war and to repel foreign intervention in the Middle East. It will undoubtedly be of interest to know the world from the Al Qaeda viewpoint.
The present book contains the views of Osama bin Laden, Al Qaeda members, affiliated organizations and supporters on a wide-ranging series of contemporary topics, including nuclear weapons, the killing of Muslims, the U.S., India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, contemporary Arab governments, and Al Qaeda’s major attacks.
The appeal of Al Qaeda’s ideology is best understood in its own words and the words of affiliated organizations and supporters. For this reason, this compilation has been put together.
