Au contraire mon cher msummo. I must make one argument.

Tanzim Al-Qa'iadh was an unintended consequence of our support (and Saudi money), through the CIA, channeled through Pakistan, to the Afghan mujahidin (muj) but was created by the Arab fighters alongside the muj.

Therefore your statement that Al-Qa'iadh was a grass roots organization would need further explaining, as it came about from a non indigenous people (Arab) in Afghanistan.

I must say, you have a most interesting post!
