NATO to send expert mission to libya

The point is that Wikipedia more or less represents the dominant position on groups like AQIM. I am simply trying to figure out which part you think is 'brainwashing' and which part you accept.

I do not deny the existence of this group.

I said it sounds like brainwashing because the amount of coverage Al-Qaeda gets. When you repeat something over and over again to me it sounds like brainwashing. I have no proof of this but its the impression I get.

I mean, I assume you accept Al-Zawahiri is real?

Yes he's real. XD

It has been reported widely that he has called the cooperation a "blessed union". It has also been widely reported that the Salafist Group for Call and Combat (GSPC) had renamed itself to Al-Qaeda in the Maghrib (AQIM). Is that something you accept?

Yes

If your view is simply that Al-Qaeda is not somekind of hierarchical military organization, then I completely agree with you. I think the dominant view (also in the West) is that it is more of a loose association of different groups. So you are not saying anything extraordinary there.

OK

What made you ask these questions?

Well, you initially seemed to agree with Jedi_Mindset that there is no such thing as Al-Qaeda and that mentioning them was "like brainwashing" by the media.

I asked those questions to figure out what you meant with that. It appears your position is a lot more nuanced than it appeared. So all is good. Sorry for the questioning .

No need to apologies. I was confused.
