Al- Qaeda Does Charity and Terrorism

For about the first half of this article I was thinking, “wow, Al-Qaeda is helping people”. But after reading further I realized that they haven’t changed. They are working with the Shabab, a group that is causing the deaths of millions of people and taking children to use as soldiers. Although Al- Qaeda was giving the camp of Somalians food, it seems to be superimposed, or in other words it’s covering up the true relations that the two groups have together. The first thing that made me suspicious was the fact that Mr. Almahujir was white. Muslims from Middle Eastern decent usually don’t take kindly to Western or European converted Muslims. Also he praises the Shabab leaders for, ‘“operating under extremely difficult circumstances’”. This doesn’t make sense to me because the Shabab leaders are imprisoning these people and causing the starvation of millions, so how could they be doing any good? It sounds like Al- Qaeda is backing the part of the Shabab that is doing the imprisoning not the part that is giving them food. Either way, there is certainly something shady about the whole situation, and I’m sure that it can’t be good.
