They created the term Al Qaeda you moron, it is a CIA fabrication plain and simple. You ignored to watch this same video that was posted ages ago but if you would actually pay attention for once you might just learn something. It is really not hard to see why this documentary was aired in almost all countries but the never in the USA. I wonder why.... |
This is what I was saying before about your lack of education and experience leaves you completely incapable of making reasonable and rational inferences from the information you are presented with.
I saw that video more than 2 years ago. And you know what? It examines the rise of militant islam, and shows how very real (if not substantial) that threat is and its history of influence in the mid east and elsewhere. The term AQ might have been coined by the CIA but they didn't invent all the loose membership that this name comprises. that doco certainly doesn't say that militant islam is a fabrication or that the members of AQ are CIA assets, fabrications or anything else. It argues that forces in the US used a blanket term in order to have freedom when dealing with supposed enemies of the state. The doco goes into some detail regarding islamic extremism, its goals, influences and relative importance.
LEARN HOW TO RESEARCH YOU IGNORANT, UNEDUCATED PEASANT. Either you haven't watched the whole doco and are relying on soundbites to labour the point, or you simply didn't understand it.

Part 2: "The Phantom Victory"
In the second episode, Islamist factions, rapidly falling under the more radical influence of Zawahiri and his rich Saudi acolyte Osama bin Laden, join the Neo-Conservative-influenced Reagan Administration to combat the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan. When the Soviets eventually pull out and when the Eastern Bloc begins to collapse in the late 1980s, both groups believe they are the primary architects of the "Evil Empire's" defeat. Curtis argues that the Soviets were on their last legs anyway, and were doomed to collapse without intervention.
However, the Islamists see it quite differently, and in their triumph believe that they had the power to create 'pure' Islamic states in Egypt and Algeria. However, attempts to create perpetual Islamic states are blocked by force. The Islamists then try to create revolutions in Egypt and Algeria by the use of terrorism to scare the people into rising up. However, the people are terrified by the violence and the Algerian government uses their fear as a way to maintain power. In the end, the Islamists declare the entire populations of the countries as inherently contaminated by western values, and finally in Algeria turn on each other, each believing that other terrorist groups are not pure enough Muslims either.
In America, the Neo-Conservatives' aspirations to use the United States military power for further destruction of evil are thrown off track by the ascent of George HW Bush to the presidency, followed by the 1992 election of Bill Clinton leaving them out of power. The Neo-Conservatives, with their conservative Christian allies, attempt to demonise Clinton throughout his presidency with various real and fabricated stories of corruption and immorality. To their disappointment, however, the American people do not turn against Clinton. The Islamist attempts at revolution end in massive bloodshed, leaving the Islamists without popular support. Zawahiri and bin Laden flee to the sufficiently safe Afghanistan and declare a new strategy; to fight Western-inspired moral decay they must deal a blow to its source: the United States. |
yeah, they just made AQ up out of thin air!  it is rather dishonest to present a documentary and then lie about what the doco examines. not that we're not all used to your lies by now.
