al queda's demands

sorry for sounding thick but could somebody explain to me what al queda are fighting for ?
is it anti christian beliefs or muslims to rule the world?
is it anti western policy?
or are they just looking for a scrap?
i find it hard to believe they are fighting for one mans ideas.

That is a good question. I would like to see a list of their demands of what it would take for them to be happy. I'm sure it is something that could never be agreed to. There is only one solution.

I understand your confusion, however I am pretty sure they have stated they will continue to fight until the western powers leave the middle east. Essentially, they want America and its allies to leave all middle eastern countries.

I have news for them, this will happen. However, it will not happen until we have drained the entire middle east of all of its oil. Mark my words, when all the oil is gone, so too will be America and its allies. Until then, our presence will never cease to exist.

Here are his demands
