19 al qaeda terrorists hijacked 4 planes full of passengers 2 flown into twin towers and another flown into the pentagon WHY? why did they attack america? what is bin laden's beef? israel and palestine is one reason given, america supports israel and close friends with them military bases in saudi arabia and throughout the region is another reason given after 9/11 america was still close friends with israel and set up even more bases throughout middle east they went to war with afghanistan and iraq and now libya more recently and thousands of muslims have been killed as a result so al qaeda should be fuming with anger and hatred after this yet there has been no attacks on america by al qaeda since 9/11 WHY??? and i don't just mean another attack on the scale of 9/11, i mean no attack of any kind whatsoever |

thats the only answer i can think of but it does not make sense
how could they pull off such a massive operation as 9/11 one moment and the next they cannot even blow up a car or hijack a bus, even something as small as one lone crazy al qaeda guy going into a pub and shooting a load of people |

if you are member of al qaeda surely getting a weapon is as easy as buying a loaf of bread
all they need to do is go to a random town in america and go on a killing spree and because they are suicide attacker they have no fear of being caught do they why are they not doing this? why are they doing nothing to attack america again? |

As a frequent visitor to the USA, my own opinion is that the States have got their sh1t together when it comes to security. Airport security both in the USA and on boarding flights to the USA from other countries, is much more stringent than it used to be. I think American security is now like Israeli security - which is tight. Takes longer to board a flight, obviously... but I don't have a problem with that, it makes me feel safer.

al Qaeda's been ****ed ever since bin Laden's death, a prior to that, they were fighting in places like Afghanistan. They made their mission overseas, to kill Americans. How come there haven't been any more terrorist attacks in the UK after 2005? |

I'm not saying security is so good (in the USA or the UK) that they won't try again, I'm saying everyone is more vigilant now. |

I think it's a combination of both tighter security in the American homeland (we've caught many people trying to do terrorist things) and also Al Queda fight against US troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, instead of coming to America.
Like Bush said, our wars in Afg. and Iraq are like a magnet to the terrorists, better to fight them over there then over here. ALso i think Al Queada is mostly now hiding out in the rural areas of pakistan near the Afghan border, so it's easier for us to kill thenm with Drones, and not have to risk any American lives in the battle. The civilian cost is unfortunate, but at least it's not an American civilian cost. That being said, i do believe there will be another major islamist attack on US soil within our lifetime. Nothing as big as 9/11 though, i don't think. Probably more like the 7/7 london bombings.

yeah but over here the fear has risen about home grown attacks and they could easily attack this 9/11 anniversary as this is the biggest one yet as the Professional American Football Season starts pratically everywhere on this anniversary and alot of people go to those events. but now I'm worried that Christian Nutjobs could attack this place cause of it mainly liberal or that place because Muslims live in that area

13 US soldiers. Technically not 'Al Quaida' but basically the same radical pro-Al-Quaida Jihad networks. Weirdly, sold as another 'lone mentally disturbed' shooting and just a coincidence he happened to be Muslim. |
