Editing Al-Qaeda (section)

=== Grievances ===
A recurring theme in al-Qaeda's ideology is the perpetual grievance over the violent subjugation of Islamic dissidents by the authoritarian, [[Secularism|secularist]] regimes allied to the West. Al-Qaeda denounces these [[Postcolonialism|post-colonial]] governments as a system led by [[Westernised]] elites designed to advance [[Neocolonialism|neo-colonialism]] and maintain [[Western imperialism|Western hegemony]] over the Muslim World. The most prominent topic of grievance is over the [[United States foreign policy in the Middle East|American foreign policy in the Arab World]]; especially over its strong economic and military support to [[Israel]]. Other concerns of resentment include presence of [[NATO]] troops to support allied regimes; injustices committed against Muslims in [[Kashmir]], [[Chechnya]], [[Xinjiang]], [[Syria]], [[Afghanistan]], [[Iraq]] etc.<ref>{{Cite book|last1=J.
