fareed zakaria039s take: al qaeda is irrelevant
Bookmarked 767 weeks ago the arab revolts of 2011 represent a total repudiation of al qaeda039s founding ideology for 20 years al qaeda has said that the regimes of the arab world are nasty dictatorships and that the only way to overthrow them is to support al qaeda and its terrorismand then in a few weeks the people of the arab world have overturned two despotic governments by means of non-violent demonstrations and they have begun a process of reform and revolution that will alter the basic bargain between the ruler and ruled in the middle eastthere really is no hankering in the middle east for a return to the 7th century -- only a desire for jobs pluralism freedom and good governmental qaeda has embraced violence precisely because it has no political strength or strategy it cannot bring a million people into tahrir square to demand the ouster of mubarak so it hopes to shock and awe people by spectacular acts of violencelet039s look at the facts:1 since 9-11 al qaeda has been unable to launch a single attack in the united states small groups of people inspired by it have managed a few smaller attacks in cities in the middle east and europe2 most terrorism is now the product of lone would-be suicide bombers rather than an organized movement with a central figure or central organization3 political support for al qaeda islamic terrorism and suicide bombings has dropped in every country on which we have polling data4 if the arab world becomes more democratic those numbers will continue to fall in iraq for instance support for political violence is tiny -- lower than it is in the united statesso can we all take a deep breath stop cowering in fear of an impending caliphate and put problem of islamic terrorism in perspective it039s real but it039s not going to take over the world anytime soon |
