Answer 2

• Al-Qaeda teaches an extreme, distorted, and inaccurate version of Islam.
• Al-Qaeda fears and hates the freedom of thought and religion that the United States and other democracies cherish.

Step-by-step explanation:

Al-Qaeda is a terrorist group that was once headed by Osama bin-Laden. This group is responsible for some very dangerous attacks such as the 9-11 attacks.

Al-Qaeda believes that they are fighting for the beliefs of Islam when in fact they practice a distorted, extreme and inaccurate version of Islam as Islam generally calls for peace with other religions.

The United States and other democracies became a target for Al-Qaeda as they hated the freedoms in these countries and felt it would influence the world negatively so they sought to end this.
