Conclusion

There is no simple way of explaining the genesis of disputes between Arab and non-Arab members of the global jihad current. Numerous debates and fissures exist within as well as between these two broad groups. At the same time, it is difficult to evaluate the relative importance of ethnic and cultural fissures within al-Qa’ida, particularly because those fissures must be weighed against strategic and doctrinal differences.

This chapter has argued that, in the relationships between Arabs and their non-Arab allies, three broad types of tensions may be identified:

1. tensions caused by disputes over religious doctrines;

2. tensions caused by cultural and ethnic differences; and

3. tensions caused by disagreements over politics and strategy.
