Al Qaeda: Muslim Friend or Foe [Islam foretold rise of radical Islamic group that would be the greatest enemy of Muslims and insult to Muslims and Isl

Apparently, it was foretold from the time of the rise of Islam, that in future there would be a Muslim group active among the Muslims following more rigidly the religious traditions of Namaz and Roza (Fast).

That group will try its best to prove itself the true follower of Islam and would succeed to a great extent in leaving its impression on the people. But in reality the group appearing to be of the Muslims would be the greatest enemy of the Muslims and would cause a great insult to the Muslims and Islam.

If we look at the organizations running in the name of Al-Qaeda or the Taliban, we see the antihuman activities of these terrorist organizations of small and medium size. It is easy to believe that these are the groups about whom there was a forecast about 1400 years ago. Their movements, hatred-spreading activities, their wicked deeds of drawing lines of enmity and their taking part and involvement in violent activities show they have done more harm than good in the Islamic history over one and half thousand years.

So is it fair to say that all the Rashiduns were in fact, following a misguided form of Islam since they too had a similar vision that was equal to that of Al-Qaeda? Afterall, it is Al-Qaeda’s vision to command and conquer the world in the name of Allah and bring it to its knees. By hook or by crook.

Is there no one to answer my question? I would really like to read the opinions of Muslims on this.

the goal is the same, but maybe the means were different. The Caliphs didn’t have bombs.

The Caliphs never liberated Jerusalem, Byzantine or Spain. Quite the opposite. When Muslims claim the Qu’ran discourages them from destroying places of worship, they did the exact opposite in the lands they invaded. What they did to Hagia Sophia and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is not a form of ‘liberation’ but religious oppression. No different than what Al-Qaeda wants to achieve. By the way, if i’m not mistaken, the Caliphs did use gunpowder in their conquests.
