LONDON (Reuters) - When Algeria’s militant GSPC group rebranded itself as the North African arm of al Qaeda, some Western security officials dismissed it as a PR stunt. Less than a year later, it has built up a deadly track record that makes it the prime suspect in Tuesday’s twin bomb blasts in the capital Algiers which killed at least 67 people.

ALGIERS (Reuters) - Suspected al Qaeda militants detonated twin car bombs in Algeria’s capital on Tuesday, killing at least 26 people and destroying U.N. offices in one of the bloodiest attacks since civil strife in the 1990s. Al Qaeda’s North African wing said in a statement on an Islamist Internet site that two of its members carried out the bombings in the North African oil and gas exporting country. The group posted pictures of what it said were the two suicide bombers holding assault rifles. No independent verification of the statement was immediately available.

To be patient in preaching is easy to be said, but difficult in practice. However it doesn’t mean da’I should be stagnant in preaching.

Islam is moderate and tolerant religion and unknown radicalism and liberalism. For that reason, even thought the radical and liberal’s group try to be developed, it predicted would destroyed because not suitable with the Islamic teaching. The great Imam (leader) from Nabawi mosque in Medina, Sheikh Dr Ali bin Abdurrahman Al Hudzaifi, in Friday’s sermon in Baiturrahim’s mosque at president’s residence stated Islam teach the Muslim to respect all human being without leave the Islamic teaching and concern their religion, race, group and others.
