Al Qaeda was founded in 1988 by the most wanted terrorist in America, Osama Bin Laden, to bring together Arabs who fought in Afghanistan against the Soviet Invasion. Al Qaeda works with allied Islamic extremist groups to take over regimes it deems "non-Islamic" and remove Westerners from Muslin countries. The organization first began with three members and now there are approximately 200 to 1,000 current members. Al-Qaeda began to construct and offer training camps and guesthouses to its recruits; while they also attempted to pull in U.S. citizens for financial, communication, and operation reasons for the benefit of Al-Qaeda and its other affiliations. By 1990 Al-Qaeda was providing military and intelligence training in various areas including Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Sudan.
Al Qaeda’s primary goal is to remove the United States armed forces out of Saudi Arabia, but many Americans assume that they were functioning on behalf of the Islamic religion. The events of 9/11 which were displayed to America and the world were either recorded by the media or disclosed and reported by first-hand eyewitnesses. Since the
On November 5, 1872, Susan B. Anthony, a well-known leader in the women’s rights movement, along with several other women, entered the West End News Depot and cast their ballot. The women had all registered in the previous days; Anthony had registered to vote November 1, 1872 at a local barbershop, along with her three sisters. Even though the inspectors refused her initial demand to register, Anthony used her power of persuasive speaking and her relationship with well-respected persons of authority, such as Judge Henry R. Selden, to obtain her registration, informing the inspectors that if they did not register the women, they would press charges

Al-Qaeda's goal is to overthrow regimes it considers "non-Islamic" and expel Westerners and non-Muslims from Muslim countries. Al-Qaeda believes it’s the duty of Muslims to kill US citizens both civilian and military and our allies. After Al-Qaeda’s September 11, 2001, attacks on America, the United States launched a war in Afghanistan to destroy al-Qaeda’s bases there and overthrow the Taliban. I have firsthand experience fighting terrorism. I was stationed in Afghanistan in 2008. I served on the front lines of the war against terror in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. I travelled to remote parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan searching for terror suspects. I feel proud to know that I made a difference by taking down members of the Taliban. Additional Al-Qaeda’s goals and objectives are as follows: establishing the rule of God on earth, attaining martyrdom in the cause of God and the purification of the ranks of Islam from the elements of depravity.
Since the brutalizing attacks that occurred in the United States on September 11, 2001, terrorist groups such as al Qaeda, and its subdivision turned adversary - the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria - which we affectionately refer to as ISIS, have metastasized into a worldwide threat that has shaken our way of life, our culture, and our approach to our opponents (Kohlmann). From 2013 to 2014 there was a whopping 35% increase in terrorism with attacks in 95 countries, proving that despite the valiant counterattacks, terrorism will not go down without a fight (Williams). Of course, the United States did declare a “war on terror” that despite many cons did result in the ultimate pro - the assassination of Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda and mastermind behind many terrorist attacks, including 9/11 (Shah). All casualties aside, the death of bin Laden, and more specifically the means by which his
Although, it did not take long before America realized that the Al Qaeda group was responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks. In addition, the organization was led by Osama bin Laden. Besides, the Al Qaeda group had declared war openly on the States of America (Capone, 2011). As a result, the group was ready to terminate lives of innocents’ lives in America and the entire world. Therefore, America started war against Al Qaeda with the aim of protecting the citizens, friends as well as allies. However, after 10 years of the heroic and tireless effort of American military with the tireless support of the counter-terrorism professionals American had yielded some fruits. In addition, America had strengthened its homeland defense and disrupted attacks by the
This is a story about Susan B. Anthony. Susan one day decided she wanted to go make it right. Because back then only men had rights and Susan thought that it was not fair if women didn't have as many rights as men.
Terrorist threat are more progressively and governments must face them as soon as possible. Is military strike rise terrorist?

During the anti-terrorism lot terrorist died by American army Targeted killings, even the leader of Al-Qaida Usama bin laden. But what we see is after he died there terrorist threat is more serious, many organization like ISIS and lone wolf terrorist raised by social network. American force costs one hundred million dollar per day in anti-terrorist. Continuous Targeted killings have a mass of collateral damage of locally people, which is one of the main resource to raise terrorist. After Usama bin laden died the Al-Qaida is the main terrorist organization, what raised them will be a good simple for other terrorist organization.

Military the CIA and NATO had supported Al-Qaida in the Balkans. Washington’s objective was to trigger ethnic conflict and destabilize the Yugoslav federation, first in Bosnia, then in Kosovof (Prof 6).” So this is the one reason of Al-Qaida raised.

Al Qaeda is a threat to America due to its attack on the nation. The attacks were being used by the Bush administration and its friend; British to solicit for public support of the agenda of the global military. The Islamic terror network was an initiative towards the creation of intelligence apparatus (Chossudovsky, 2013). This military and the intelligence services triggered mass casualty events which led to civilian casualties. This was the basis of war propaganda that served to fabricate an enemy. The outside enemy specifically the personalized Osama Bin Laden was threatening America. The pre-emptive war was a target against Islamic terrorist was needed to defend

The Taliban and Al-Qaeda are some the two most outspoken groups and many assume their characteristics to be similar. As the western gaze focuses primarily on these two organizations, a comparison between: their origins, structures, background, objectives and current actions, allows
