The Islamic state was once Al Qaeda in Iraq. The organization began to separate from al Qaeda in 2013 and was officially expelled in February 2014. The core problem is that Islamic nations do not listen to the order of al - Qaeda headquarters. Muslim countries refuse to restrict violence against civilians against Muslim countries and want to direct Syria's action while repeatedly ordering. (This is true: the Islamic state is too violent for Al Qaeda.) For many years, Al Qaeda was a clear leader in the global jihadist movement. The radical organization, the extreme Internet community, and the radical network of "lonely wolves" regard al Qaeda as a gold standard. Many groups have loyalties or building cooperative relationships with junior partners.
Al - Qaeda (AQAP) in the Arabian Peninsula is an alliance of Saudi Arabia and Al - Qaeda affiliates in Yemen.

Nusra Front has a long and proven history and is a faithful member of Syrian Al Qaeda. However, in July 2016 Al Qaeda leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri argues that if the link "played solidarity and as a whole", the Nusla front line officially refused the relationship with Al Qaeda Announced a statement. A few hours later, former Nusla leader Abu Mohamed Golani officially blocked the relationship with the Al Qaeda Central Command.
