@Ali_Syed

They call themselves AQIM- Alqaeda of islamic Maghreb

Who says they are good for the population, but they are there now (in fact in many other countries too) during the past 10 years of War on Terror…something for the west to think about.

Is it not something all of us to think about? The “war on terror” has failed thats why the term has been dropped even by its proponents. But the rise of these type of militants does affect us all, Muslim or non-Muslim. That is clear when we see the laws they put in place like the destruction of the Muslim shrines and taking away the rights from women.
I don’t think it is wise to sit back watch and blame America and the West for everything, we need to know if the rise of this type of Islam (if we can even call it that because most people would agree that true Islam is one of science and tolerance) is good for the world. Are these guys doing Gods work or are they infact abusing his teachings and committing a type of blasphemy. What do you think?
