Does al Qaeda really think they are smaller and weaker than the US?

Question

I believe they know we have more military might than they do but they think that they have the one true God. With that belief, they think they are mightier than the US.

What do you think?

Answer 1

Muslim terrorist think like our democrats and take their talking points form them. They also know that the left here is not willing to do what is needed to win. They however know GWB is all about destroying them and as they have said it is a holy war whether you believe in god or not they do and they strap bombs on children to kill infidels like us. So we must do what is needed tot win.
read this about our left and see where they stand and what they hope to do and have done already. Keep in mind that Russia and China are working with the Islamic terrorist and Iran the number one exporter of it.


1963 Communist Goals
The following was entered into the Congressional record by Albert Herlong, Jr. (a Floridian who served in Congress from 1949-69) in 1963.

1) US acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war
2) US willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war
3) Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the US would be a demonstration of "moral strength"
4) Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

6) Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination

8) Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the Germany question by free elections under supervision of the UN
9) Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the US has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress
10) Allow all Soviet Satellites individual representation in the UN
11) Promote the UN as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the UN as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo)
12) Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party
13) Do away with loyalty oaths
14) Continue giving Russia access to the US Patent Office

22) Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all form of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings", substitute shapeless, awkward, and meaningless forms.
23) Control art critics and directors of art museums. " Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art".
24) Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25) Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography, and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV.
26) Present Homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as "normal, natural, and healthy".
27) Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch"
28) Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state"
29) Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30) Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man".
31) Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of "the big picture:" Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

41) Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42) Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special interest groups should rise up and make a "united force" to solve economic, political, or social problems.
43) Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44) Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45) Repeal the Connally Reservation so the US can not prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.

Answer 2

Terrorism is the tactic used by extreme groups who know that they are not as powerful as the entity against which they are fighting.

The violent actions carried out by terrorists are done because they don’t have the military might or, in many cases, the general effective support of the population in order to accomplish their political goals. They use their attacks to garner attention as well as to inflict material or psychological damage on their perceived enemies.

Al Qaeda is using the same tactics that other terrorist groups have used throughout history in order to bring attention to their causes and wreak whatever havoc they could on much stronger and more conventionally organized forces.

Answer 3

If you have God on your side, how can you lose?
Problem is that everyone thinks God is on their side when in reality, she wants absolutely nothing to do with any of it.

The people who fought the Soviets, and now the Americans may be freaky religious nuts, but they are pragmatic first and foremost.
I watched a bin Laden tape where he quoted Sun Tzu The Art of War,
"When they are big and we are small, they are clumsy and we are agile"

Answer 4

Iraqis are not the only victims of the Empire's most recent efforts to exterminate them. Americans are reaping the wages of Bush's sins against the Iraqi people. Over 3300 Americans have died carrying out the twisted bidding of Rumsfeld and company. Hundreds of billions of wasted US taxpayer dollars, virtually certain federal bankruptcy, and the steady asphyxiation of domestic programs which benefit the poor, the sick, the elderly, the working people, and most importantly, our children, closely parallel the passive mass murder perpetrated through the US-driven UN economic sanctions against Iraq. Want evidence? Look to New Orleans.

In light of the Downing Street Memo, which clearly demonstrates that Bush constructed a false case to justify the invasion of a country that posed no real threat to the United States, based on the accompanying needless deaths of American soldiers, and considering the resulting economic sanctions placed upon the American people, Congress has a sacred obligation to truly represent the interests of its constituents and remove Bush and his fellow criminals from office. It is time to impeach Bush and Cheney. Once removed from office, these two and the rest of the cabal need to face trial at the International Criminal Court for war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity.

Answer 5

i think they are weaker.... but brighter... if not, then why the hell American still can't find Osama? American with their all high t tech gizmos '2nd to Japan' still haven't figure out what kind of mass destructive weapon hidden in Iraq (which is a LIE)

leaving the people questioning, what kind of President i got here? maybe a lab test monkey.. created to be shot in the head or chopped in front of camera.

Answer 6

These Al Qaeda extremists are "true believers". And yes they believe they are stronger we are. I don't think they base this by military strength. It is unfortunate that all religious extremists don't understand God is for all.

Answer 7

Remember fanaticism breeds acts without regret

Answer 8

They're probably right in that regard.

But, I also think that middle east politics are beyond our understanding and we should stay out!
