What is the ideology of al-Qaeda?

Prior to his death in May 2011, Osama bin Laden designed al-Qaeda to symbolize the globalization of terrorism in the twenty-first century. The network is perceived by many to represent a quintessential model for small groups of like-minded revolutionaries who wish to wage transnational insurgencies against strong adversaries. Although al-Qaeda certainly exists as a loose network of relatively independent cells, it has also evolved into an idea—an ideology and a fighting strategy—that has been embraced by sympathetic revolutionaries throughout the world.Al-Qaeda leaders such as the late Osama bin Laden and his successor as leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, consistently released public pronouncements of their goals, often by delivering audio and video communiqués to international news agencies such as Al Jazeera in Qatar. Based on these communiqués, the following principles frame the ideology of al-Qaeda:aThe struggle is a clash of civilizations. Holy war is a religious duty and necessary for the salvation of one’s soul and the defense of the Muslim nation.Only two sides exist, and there is no middle ground in this apocalyptic conflict between Islam and the forces of evil. Western and Muslim nations that do not share al-Qaeda’s vision of true Islam are enemies.Violence in a defensive war on behalf of Islam is the only course of action. There cannot be peace with the West.Because this is a just war, many of the theological and legal restrictions on the use of force by Muslims do not apply.Because U.S. and Western power is based on their economies, large-scale mass-casualty attacks that focus on economic targets are a primary goal.Muslim governments that cooperate with the West and do not adopt strict Islamic law are apostasies and must be violently overthrown.Israel is an illegitimate nation and must be destroyed.These principles have become a rallying ideology for Islamist extremists who have few, if any, ties to al-Qaeda. Thus, the war on terrorism is not solely a conflict against an organization but is also a conflict against a belief system.Discussion QuestionsWhat is the ideology of al-Qaeda?Why did a network of religious revolutionaries evolve into a potent symbol of global resistance against its enemies?Which underlying commonalities appeal to motivated Islamist activists?

Why do you believe that Alan is having a difficult time recognizing the change proposed by Reham?

Change is never an easy process. For years, researchers and theorists have attempted to develop frameworks for change to help individuals accept the need for change. Consider the scenario below about change in a large organization. Then, answer the associated questions related to organizational change.Due to the impact of COVID-19, a large manufacturing company recognizes that organizational culture changes are necessary. Furthermore, process related changes must occur. The organization has experienced a decline in sales from early 2020 to present and recognizes that if changes are not made, many issues may arise. Reham, the CEO of the company, recognizes that organizational changes are needed.Reham has proposed that the company reduce the size of the workforce by 20% until sales increase. The organization currently employs many full-time manufacturing employees, but only employs a handful of office workers. To further market the products provided by the company, many office workers are working 10-20 hours of overtime, per week, to assist with marketing efforts. Needless to say, office personnel are very overwhelmed with tasks and responsibilities.At a three-hour meeting, Reham noted that a 20% reduction among manufacturing employees would be made within the next month. She then went on to state that three new positions would be added to the home office to ensure that the workload was not as intense for office personnel.During the meeting, many individuals recognized Reham’s point and said that they would support her decision to make these workforce changes. Unfortunately, Reham’s colleague, Alan (the Director of Manufacturing), became furious about this change and mentioned that he did not understand why Reham was trying to ruin the company’s culture.Based on the scenario above, answer the following questions:Why do you believe that Alan is having a difficult time recognizing the change proposed by Reham?What are the implications associated with Alan, the Director of Manufacturing, not supporting this change initiative?Although Reham is the CEO, and has ultimate authority, how might obtaining additional feedback from other organizational leaders assist Alan in further understanding the rationale for this change?Before Reham pushes this change forward, what short-term and long-term impacts should she consider?Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:Be 5 pages in length, which does not include the title and reference pages, which are never a part of the content minimum requirements.Use APA style guidelines.you should met all the requirement in the question plus the guide that attachment
