Abstract
Given the ideological differences between the traditional Maghrebi Islamists and Bin Laden's radical anti-American vision, this situation is a puzzle. Why do revolutionary Islamist groups in the Maghreb join al-Qaeda's global jihad? And if some do join, why do others decline? A first proposition is that organizational or leadership factors may contribute to the decision. Second, there is a precedent for al-Qaeda to accept affiliates of various kinds. In the next chapter, we will see the different kinds of relationships al-Qaeda forms with like-minded organizations.
