Al Qaeda was formed sometime between 1988-89 by Osama bin Laden and has its own army. Many countries have stated that it is a "terrorist organization" after the acts on the US embassy, Bali, and the most famous 9/11 bombings. The US responded by tracking down bin Laden and successfully killing him. Since the leader is no longer with them, this organization has declined in power substantially. The group has gotten smaller and the members are now popular for doing suicide bombings.
The al Qaeda members believe that people of the Christian and Jewish faith are banning together to overthrow the Muslims of the world. Al Qaeda's goal is to break from traditional beliefs of the Muslim faith. These people do not follow the guidelines in the Islam scripture which states not to kill civilians nor do they follow man-made laws. The sharia law is what they want in place of these laws. Sharia law is the law of God opposed to the human views. Sharia is different between the various cultures which abide by them. These laws are found in the Quran.
With al Qaeda dying out, this brings hope to several nations in the world. Having these men out of other countries and calm in their own helps our world live in peace.
