AQ is a term similar to Kleenex or Xerox. Most all tissues are not from Kleenex. Most all copies are not made by a Xerox machine. But many don't even know the difference.

Jihadists in Africa have as much in common with bin Laden's Al Qaeda as President Morsi of Egypt has. But to keep it simple for many manipulated by sound bytes, its just easier to label all extremist Muslims as "Al Qaeda".

Same spin also proved Saddam was complicit on 11 September. Those most easily manipulated by propaganda need soundbytes to explain it. Soundbytes make experts. Reality: bin Laden's Al Qaeda is not in Mali no matter what Fox News says.
