[edit] Al-Qaedaism

• Delete a non-notable neologism which for an "ideology" of perhaps the most talked about terrorist group in the world, has 10,700 hits on Google. --Revolución hablar ver 21:45, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
• Comment For those who wish to discuss the specific ideological basis of Al Qaeda per se, rather than the broader movements within which it fits (Islamism, Wahhabism, etc.), I think this is legitimate -- although Binladenism has twice the ghits. Both appear in serious journals like Foreign Affairs and are defined by e.g. Council on Foreign Relations, meaning it's about as academically grounded as it gets. The CFR is the body most representative (not without bias!) of foreign policy expertise in the US. The problem I see is that this is likely to be hijacked by POV-pushers with the latest du jour linkage of al Qaeda to whatever is hep that week. It would need to be pretty scrupulously sourced. It might just be best to merge back into Al Qaeda.--Dhartung | Talk 22:11, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

• Merge back to Al Qaeda or at least give a good reason for the reader as to why this needs a separate article. Slavlin 04:28, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
• Merge with Al Qaeda. I can see the concept behind proposing this as an ideology, but it is too recent and too poorly defined. Maybe one day people will use the phrase with the degree of commonality of islamism and Wahhabism, but noot yet. Euryalus 09:44, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
