Al Qaeda were Islamic Extremist but they are Religous conservatives which means 9/11 was a Right Wing Terrorist attack.

Founding Principles

Osama Bin Laden's experiences as a logistical coordinator and financier for the Afghan and Arab resistance to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan during the 1980s are thought to have provided the backdrop for his belief that Muslims could take effective military action inspired by select Islamic principles.5 H[i][b]is exposure to the teachings of [u]conservative[/u] Islamist scholars in Saudi Arabia and his work with Arab militants in Afghanistan provided the theological and ideological basis for his belief in the desirability of puritanical Salafist Islamic reform in Muslim societies and the necessity of armed resistance in the face of perceived aggression—a concept Al Qaeda has since associated with a communally-binding Islamic principle known as "defensive jihad."6[/b][/i] After the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990, Bin Laden expressed these views in opposition to the introduction of foreign military forces to Saudi Arabia. Bin Laden characterized the presence of U.S. and other non-Muslim troops in Saudi Arabia after the 1991 Gulf War as cause for renewed commitment to defensive jihad and the promotion of violence against the Saudi government and the United States.[/quote]
@BetweenKittensandRiots that's so strange tbh
@TheBlackPowerRanger As an Atheist I think people like Jerry Falwell had far more in common with Bin Laden than they did apart. They just didn't want to face the brutal truth. Their thoughts, their sentiments, they are hard to tell apart.

today I listen to conservative commentators and all they want to comment on is how american society has broken down into a destructive materialism and decadence has taken over as consumption has become the only lasting american virtue.

Their attack on consumer society sounds a lot like Al qaeda.
