It’s a mistake to differentiate between terrorist movements, be they local and small or large organisations. As a matter of fact they all share the same ideology, based on extremist ideas and derived from specific concepts prescribing to be imposed by force on societies where there are growing Muslim Brotherhoods or Salafis or Takfir wal Hijra, or the Fighting Group and other groups no matter their titles. They all extend historically from the Kharijites who see their exit from the Government and against the governor as an imperative of their existence. Followers of history can see that many of their communities hide sometimes for decades then resurface under a different cover. They retain their references via teachings exchanged secretly like Freemasons. The interesting fact is that the intellectual and political elites and despite their thorough research never felt the need to dry up the sources of terrorism and to highlight the main financier of these groups. It is very simple – as long as Saudi Arabia is spending millions to spread Wahhabi ideology and devoting large amounts of money within its borders and outside with the blessing of the U.S. with the goal of weakening the Arab Muslim nation, in addition to the silence of the Arab rulers and their political elites who seek to preserve their financial benefits – the extremist groups will continue to emerge in broad daylight. This is at the expense of the security of these communities. The best proof is their riding of the revolutions of the Arab spring. Followers of developments in Libya, Tunisia and Egypt, events that the media are reluctant to uncover, can easily see the black flags roaming the streets in broad daylight. This is happening in Benghazi, the candidate to be a duplicate of Kandahar or the attacks on the headquarters of newspapers and clubs in Tunisia and the discredit of organisations of civil society. Thanks to Zawaya and its readers.

Algeria is a country of martyrs and revolutionaries, and no one can destabilize it.

Throughout history, radicals have concealed their crimes behind wars, lawlessness and Islamist mobs, and imposed disgusting dictatorship on the weak. They resort to violence because they do not believe in persuasion. However, the current era has revealed their racism and goals.

By Tayid Amir. Some movements that follow the Saudi ideology have started to emerge in the Arab region, and the Maghreb in particular, thanks to the endless funding offered by Al-Saud, aiming to spread extremism. Al-Saud are the reason behind the suffering of Palestinians, the colonization of Iraq, the bloodshed in Asia, the cruel murders in Syria, and the black decade in Algeria.

Algeria is fine, so please don’t spread discord in it. Our message to Europeans is: Don’t keep an eye on Algeria, because its people are Mujahideen.

The word radicalism comes from the Latin word Radical

If Muslims are waging jihad in the name of Allah then why are we pointing fingers at them and accusing them of being terrorists. I am against those who accuse Muslims of being terrorists no matter how and thank you
