Terror Groups That Did Not Make It

The Flag of  Al Maq'ada;
Sometimes referred to as Al Qa'da.

This is from the same  3 letter root    q  '  d    as   Al Qa'ida.

Al Qa'ida means "base, foundation, that which something rests upon,  etc." , whereas  maq'ada literally means "sitter, that which is doing the sitting";  that is, posterior, buttocks, etc.
There were factions back in the 1990s which wanted Al Maq'ada as the official name, but they lost out, and sort of sat on their hands since.

Terror Groups That Didn't Make It

There was

Al Qa'da

(pronounce the "   '   " sort of like the "r"at the end of "butter" and let it slide.)

But for an "i" you would have had Al Qa'ida. However, al qa'da means the part of the body that does the sitting function., sometimes functioning for "maq'ada", which is "sitter, posterior".  That would have been one heck of a terror group had it continued on.
