And the millions who were executed, tortured, burned alive and repeatedly raped in the name of God and Christianity/Catholicism just had it coming for not believing as you do?
Blood and gore, all violence is part of nature. It's part of GOD's design. Just watch Shark Week.
All gods are into punishment, pain and war..even yours.
(The hint is the angels with the burning swords and the eternal hell dimension full of fire and torment. )
Extremists exist in every religion, culture and belief system. Blaming the religion for the actions of its most heretical believers only belittles your own religion because of the numerous citable cases and massive death tolls that have resulted out of that belief system.
And you missed the point of all the articles and information actually offered.
PS. Damn im still close to being right.

A stark counterpoint to American diplomatic efforts on the ground in Yemen is the ubiquitous presence of drones in the air. On Monday, four people suspected of Al Qaeda militancy were killed in a US drone strike in the governorate of Marib, just east of the capital. Not long after the strike, an aircraft appeared over Sanaa that many residents feared was a drone.
“Drone or normal plane, the fear was expressed by many,” said Haykal Bafana, the attorney. “Many thought it was a drone about to attack, and it made them scared.”
Terror is often evoked by the presence of drones, Farea al-Muslimi agreed.
“I do not see any increased activity by AQ, in Sanaa or in other parts of Yemen. On the whole, things on the ground do not appear to be in sync with US response to close down its embassy and evacuate personnel,” Haykal Bafana, a Sanaa-based attorney, in an email to GlobalPost.
Most Yemenis are currently busy preparing for Eid al-Fitr, which begins for most of the world's Muslims on Wednesday.

Couldn't agree with more on your full observation. In this instance (Al Qaeda and their followers) seem to be tailoring their own belief against the Infidels ( you or me or anyone who doesn't conform to 'THEIR' beliefs)....and if you don't, off with your heads as a Martyr. It's a complete distortion of the Quran. I only wish a greater number of Muslim leaders would speak out more vehemently against this distortion.
AQAP has form. In August 2009, its master bomb-maker Ibrahim al-Asiri, a Saudi national, built an explosive device so hard to detect it was either packed flat next to the wearer's groin or perhaps even concealed inside his body.
He then sent his brother Abdullah, a willing volunteer, as a human bomb to blow up the Saudi prince in charge of counter-terrorism. He very nearly succeeded.
Pretending he wanted to give himself up, Abdullah al-Asiri fooled Saudi security into letting him get right next to Prince Mohammed Bin Nayef before the device was detonated, possibly remotely by mobile phone.
The blast blew the bomber in half, but with most of the explosive force directed downwards, the prince had a miraculous escape with only a damaged hand. AQAP boasted that it would try again and it did.
Several news outlets reported Monday on an intercepted communication last week between Zawahiri and Nasser al-Wuhayshi, the leader of al Qaeda’s affiliate based in Yemen. But The Daily Beast has learned that the discussion between the two al Qaeda leaders happened in a conference call that included the leaders or representatives of the top leadership of al Qaeda and its affiliates calling in from different locations, according to three U.S. officials familiar with the intelligence. All told, said one U.S. intelligence official, more than 20 al Qaeda operatives were on the call.

AFP - Al-Qaeda is plotting attacks on Europe's high-speed rail network, German mass circulation daily Bild reported on Monday, citing intelligence sources.
The extremist group could plant explosives on trains and tunnels or sabotage tracks and electrical cabling, said Bild, Europe's most widely read daily.
Bild said the information came from the National Security Agency (NSA) in the United States, which had listened in to a conference call involving top Al-Qaeda operatives.
