Al Qaeda was and remains a strict fundamentalist Islamic organization which seeks to establish an Islamic caliphate in the world and to institutionalize Shari'a law to purify the world of individuals deemed to be living outside of the their interpretation of Islam. Al Qaeda has been engaged in terrorist activity around the globe for over two decades and has now splintered into different branches in Iraq, Syria, the Arabian Peninsula, and North Africa.
