Abu Musab al Zarqawi had such a view of holy war. More barbaric, more monstrous even than Osama bin Laden. So much so that Bin Laden opposed many of his ideas. And he did not join al Qaeda, except for one brief period after 2004 where he agreed to be badged as al Qaeda in Mesopotamia.

And the only way I was able to access that city was by going in with American marines and soldiers who were desperately fighting for their lives.

I had build up false pictures in my mind and sat before them. I had never had the courage to demand the truth.

It feels like it's the end of the world if you don't do well on your SATs.

Al Qaeda still remains a threat.

Indian Muslims have stayed very far away from Al Qaeda and the like; they have voted with their feet and stayed in the country, rather than going to Pakistan during partition. On the whole, they recognize that life is better for them in India than in Pakistan.
