Answer:

The group was founded in 1988 by Osama bin Laden. The group is of a fundamentalist-Islamic nature and mainly opposes the influence of the Western world, in particular the United States, in the Islamic world.  

Al Qaeda originated from a resistance group during the Afghan War (1979-1989). At that time, all Islamic fundamentalist groups in Afghanistan united to the Mujahideen. The United States supported them financially through the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), the security service of Pakistan.  

During this war, the Mujahideen and had the common goal of expelling the Soviet troops and the communist government. The victory in Afghanistan of the Mujahideen over the Soviet Union in 1989 gave Osama Bin Laden the inspiration for the creation of Al Qaeda because apparently large Western countries could be overcome. The situation in Afghanistan remained uneasy until 1994, when the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan. They offered a safe haven for Al Qaeda, from which it launched and controlled all its operations, including the September 11 attacks.

Explain two similarities between china and Japan in their relations with European traders during the period between 1450 and 175
Rasek [7]

Both the Chinese and the Japanese felt that the Europeans were barbarians.  They were particularly repelled by the smell of these foreigners who ate much fattier diets and who did not typically wash very often.  They also felt the Europeans lacked subtlety and were rather crass in their behaviors.

The similarities, however, largely end there.  The Chinese tried to simply ignore the Europeans.  They were able to do this to some degree because the Europeans did not have anything they wanted.  They were willing to take European silver in exchange for tea and otherwise leave the Europeans alone.  This worked until around the time of the Opium Wars when the Europeans forced China to open itself more.
