Talk:Foundation Trilogy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What are the four new volumes of the trilogy? And is it now a septilogy?

I'd like to know more about how Al-Quaeda name could be related to the Foundation ?
I can't remember anything sounding like "Al-Quaeda", nor anything related to Arabs ?
But maybe it's only because I only read the French version of Second Foundation and the term is only used in this book ?
But anyway... great book.

Never mind... Al Quaeda means The Foundation.
Yeah, "Al-Qaeda" is the Arabic translation of "Foundation" and literally means "the Base." I find the theory that Osama bin Laden was influeced by the Foundation Trilogy to be ridiculous, however. The connections suggested are extremely tenuous and there are lessons in the books that are very contrary to al-Qaeda's ideology. Jacob1207 17:50, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
