[QUOTE="DeX2010"][QUOTE="Firebird-5"]
they don't pose a valid threat. unless you mean 'threat' in the kind of way a rolling pin can also be used as a weapon. this is what i have been telling you. have you read anything on al qaeda, or are you just covering your ass now (i find this common with people who use things like '-.-', generally they are 13 year olds)

How many thing can you assume about a person? '-.-' is an emote just the same as :) or :P are. Al Qaeda's threat is declining as the CIA's Drone Strikes in Afganistan combined with the death of OBL have hindered them. AQ also have several splinter groups that are causing havoc around the world. Please look at the news in Pakistan lately and tell me Al Qaeda isn't active. However minimal they still pose a threat. And if you don't have the sense to see that, then frankly I don't care.you don't even know which groups you are talking about. there are fewer than 100 individuals linked to Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, their franchises are not 'causing havoc around the world' (did the TV tell you that?), and are, as i've been saying, more interested in problems at home (i.e. Algeria for AQIM). half of the groups in Pakistani FATA don't care about Al Qaeda's goals - Lakshir-e-Taiba, the Haqqani network, etc. Al Qaeda poses no transnational threat to the US, it's just not happening. Between targeted killings of their leaders, suppression by drones, and the way US-Pakistani relations operate, Al Qaeda has neither the time nor the inclination to carry out attacks on the US, barring those of opportunity. If you still consider, after all this, Al Qaeda to be a 'threat', then you have no sense. the group is facing an existential crisis for christ sakes.
all you seem to know is what is reported in the evening news. you don't know names of regions, terrorist groups other than al qaeda, their importance and relevance, or even names of prominent members of the al qaeda leadership. stop watching the TV and do something else
How many times?! Stop assuming things about other people! It will get you nowhere. 'havoc' is probably an exaggeration but they have been a big problem in some areas of the world. You don't learn do you? You continue to assume. Please give me a response based solely on yourself and not involving 'my knowledge of al qaeda and terrorism' which is probably more than you think. I suggest you stop typing and thinking and do something else because obviously you know everything about terrorism. I bet you are an expert in the field! /sarcasm
