Al Qaeda’s New Manifesto Admits Defeat
The new manifesto, written by Al Qaeda’s chief theoretician, Sheik Abu-Bakar Naji, details this scheme in a more realistic view of their sinking fortunes. The guise will be extending Islamism, but they are the really the new Islamic Mafia, and Muslims will be their prey (remember that AQ always has the published goal, but also always has the real goal held by leadership.) This model allows them to extend by incorporating criminal gangs and the lower rungs of Islamic society.
You can see that they’ve clearly failed in Afghanistan and Iraq, and because of that they’ve shifted focus south to Pakistan, as I told you they would in 2007
