The word is Arabic for base or rule. The term has no religious origin.

Today it is known as the political regime led by Ossama Bin Ladin. An inside joke between Arabs to to joke whenever that word is used and replace it with a synonym, so as not to get in trouble.

What is the popularity of the war in Iraq like in America?

That is a good question. From my standpoint the silent majority supports the war, and especially our troops. As the war lengthens the concerns for the soldiers wear down some of the belief in the war but that has a lot to do with forgetting the events of September 11. By allowing that event to fade we lose our focus. We still have important Alqueida personnel that needs to be found and stopped. Til then we need to stay the course and finish out the war.


Why are Muslims being ill-treated in the west after the 911 attack?

If you look at WWII history - American's of Japanese lineage were put into concentration type of camps to limit communications with Japan and others the US considered a threat. Good people were discriminated against because the country feared they were part of the attack on Pearl Harbor. After 9-11 attacks - any that the citizens of western countries consider a possible threat - any who seem to possibly have a tie to Alqueida forces is considered a threat in much the same way.
