The CIA created Al Qaeda?

Not only that, but the CIA preached the concept of "Jihad" to the Afghans to rally them against the Soviets, now it's being used to try and start a holy war between Christians and Muslims.

The CIA funded and trained the MAK (Maktabu l-khidamat) to keep Soviets out of Afghanistan during the Cold War. When we pulled out, the MAK felt used and abandoned (which they were) and began using their weapons and training to start militant schools. Osama Bin Laden, an opportunist and extremist, with a few other ex-MAKs, loosely formed Al Qaeda and used the situation to foster greater resentment and anger at the western world in the younger Afghanis. While this was incredibly irresponsible of the US, they can't realistically be blamed fully for the level of extremism, militantcy, and frankly, insanity, Al Qaeda has risen to today. ---- This isn't a conspiracy theory-- it's simplistic to completely blame the USA for something like 9/11, but this is purely historical fact. The government won't openly take responsibility (it really wouldn't make sense to do that) but it's reasonably well documented; it wasn't some big clandestine movement-- it was well known that we fought similar proxy wars all over, during the Cold War.

They sure did. Osama Bin Laden = Tim Osman

Saudi Arabia and Pakistan had always been the co-founders and patrons.

Another zionists attempt to hide themselves from scanner.

The more you read up the more you'll realize the scariest truth to it all--they did it with the help of the New World Order and Illuminati.

Actually Al quada was formed after the Russian withdrawal from Afghanistan. The CIA had nothing to do with its creation. Sorry to burst your bubble.

There is absolutely nothing in your rant that links the CIA to Al quada.

Nonsense, conspiratorial obsession. LOL!

The aid given to fight the Soviets had NOTHING to do with what this question alleges. LOL!

Saudi created. CIA supported.

there is no animosity between the Sunni and the Shi'ites. they are united and talking peacefully to solve disagreements.

problem is wahhabism that promotes terrorism.

wahhabism is made by British to make animosity between the Sunni and the Shi'ites to 'devide and rule':

Confessions of a British spy and British enmity against Islam

Memoirs Of Mr. Hempher, The British Spy To The Middle East is the title of a document that was published in series (episodes) in the German paper Spiegel and later on in a prominent French paper. A Lebanese doctor translated the document to the Arabic language and from there on it was translated to English and other languages. Waqf Ikhlas publications put out and circulated the document in English in hard copy and electronically under the title: Confessions of a British spy and British enmity against Islam. This document reveals the true background of the Wahhabi movement which was innovated by Mohammad bin abdul Wahhab and explains the numerous falsehood they spread in the name of Islam and exposes their role of enmity towards the religion of Islam and towards prophet Mohammad sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam and towards Muslims at large. No wonder the Wahhabis today stand as the backbone of terrorism allowing and financing and planning shedding the blood of Muslims and other innocent people. Their well known history of terrorism as documented in Fitnatul Wahhabiyyah by the mufti of Makkah, Sheikh Ahmad Zayni Dahlan, and their current assassinations and contravention is due to their ill belief that all are blasphemers save themselves. May Allah protect our nation from their evils.

Wahabis/Salafists are the ones who comprise Taliban, Al-Qaeda members, found mostly around Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan and elsewhere. they are pretty much, the Muslim version of the Evangelical church; only, if they're not kept under control, they can get dangerous. Salafists are the ones who are sniper-shooting Syrians and doing suicide-bombings around Syria and Iraq.

please look at this short beautiful story of:

Ibn Saud, Wahhabis, and Oil, to 1945

Wahhabism and the Saud Family; oil and geologists from the United States

http://www.fsmitha.com/h2/ch17arab.html

please distinguish between sunni Muslims and extremist Wahhabi (Salafi).

Salaf literally means "past people"[=Sahaba] and Salafi means who follows Sahaba of prophet. but today Salafi is same as Wahhabi. but they do not like to be called Wahhabi. they prefer to be called Salafi. Wahhabism is founded by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab based on beliefs of Ibn Taymiyyah in Saudi Arabia. today Wahhabism is based in Saudi Arabia and is propagating beliefs of Wahhabism in world very powerful and with high financial support by petrodollars from Saudi Royal family.

Wahhabi is in fact supported by US, Israel and England to make conflict inside Muslims and finally to destroy Islam.

Ashura day keep the message of Imam Hussein (sa) alive to reach all humans.

Husain (sa) wanted to send his message with his blood to all the world and to all the humans.

the message of Hussain is:

there is two different Kind of Islam.

the pure Islam of prophet and Islam of Yazid (Ummayids) who celebrated killing of Husain (sa) the Imam and real Caliph of their time.

Husain (sa) said:

with Yazid, Salam [bye] to Islam.

Quran says:

"[en.sahih] Have you made the providing of water for the pilgrim and the maintenance of al-Masjid al-Haram equal to [the deeds of] one who believes in Allah and the Last Day and strives in the cause of Allah? They are not equal in the sight of Allah. And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. [9:19]"

please read this books to know Wahhabism more:

Wahhabism is the continue of deviated version of Islam made by Yazid and Umayyad dynasty to can control ignorant Muslims for their worldly greeds.

top Umayyad leaders (abu sufyan,..) did not have any belief in God and Quran and revelation.

without Wahhabism shia and sunni have no problem and are friends.
