What is the origin of AL-QAEDA?

Question

What actually is OSAMA BIN LADEN after? Is it a share hatred for the WEST and her partners?

Answer 1

Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden hated Israel and its supporters because they are anti-Islam which is their religion. Thus, America as the number one supporter of US is always a target of terrorism.

Answer 2

In the late 70s during the US never ending want to destroy communism, Afhganistan and Russia were at war. We funded the "freedom fighters" in Afghanistan to cripple Russia. The mujahadeen turned into the present day Al Qaeda. Bin Laden saw that if you throw enough money and never ending battle at a super power it will eventually collapse. After Russia was essentially disabled as a threat, we pulled our money out of afghanistan leading to the rise of the taliban which turned alot of people in the area Anti US. Whenever Iraq invaded Kuwait, they asked for our help. Osama took this as a grave insult because after all his soldiers did help destroy Russia, plus having infidels on holy soil in Saudi Arabia, didnt help matters.

To elaborate further Osama is from one of the wealthiest families in Saudi Arabia, that does have direct ties to the Bush family, the Baker family, Cheney all going back to the early 70s really. When oil was discovered in Texas Saleem Bin Laden helped to fund alot of the drilling. The families are very closely tied for financial reasons, anyone who says otherwise just simply is ignoring facts.
The US foreign policy in the middle east has been shaped drastically by where the oil is and how best to control that flow of oil.

Answer 3

The Arabic word qaida - ordinarily meaning "base" or "foundation" - is also used for "groundwork" and "basis". It is employed in the sense of a military or naval base, and for chemical formulae and geometry: the base of a pyramid, for example. Lane, the best Arab-English lexicon, gives these senses: foundation, basis of a house; the supporting columns or poles of a structure; the lower parts of clouds extending across a horizon; a universal or general rule or canon. With the coming of the computer age, it has gained the further meaning of "database": qaida ma'lumat (information base).

Qaida itself comes from the root verb q-'-d : to sit down, remain, stay, abide. Many people appear to think al-Qaida's name emerged from some idea of a physical base - a command centre from where Bin Laden and other leaders could direct operations. "We've got to get back to al-Qaida on that one," it's possible to imagine a footsoldier saying. Bin Laden himself has spoken, post-September 11, of being in "a very safe place". There have also been stories that his father had a vernal estate called al-Qaida in Yemen or Saudi Arabia. Could there be a sense in which the name of the organisation represents a notion of the eternal home in the consciousness of its fugitive leader?

On the surface, the most improbable explanation of the name is that Bin Laden was somehow inspired by a Russian-born writer who lived most of his life in the US and was once the world's most prolific sci-fi novelist (born in 1920 in Smolensk, Asimov died in New York in 1992). But the deeper you dig, the more plausible it seems that al-Qaida's founders may have borrowed some rhetoric from Foundation and its successors (it became a series) and possibly from other science fiction material.
