 RW>> OF course, and one must remember that wahhabism, which is
 RW>> the root of al qaeda also has close ties to the muslim
 RW>> brotherhood in Egypt.  I've had much the same thoughts.

BK>>  Except this arose so fast Al Qaeda didn't have time to set it  up.
BK>> And the secularists are behind it in Egypt, the MB is
BK>>  keeping a relatively low profile.

 RW> Mmmm, so far what I"ve been able to glean from various
 RW> sources have mentioned muslim on Christian violence as one
 RW> of the catalysts that set all this off in Egypt, and that
 RW> points directly to the MB and the Qaedas.

 I haven't seen that. Do you have a link? I did see Islamic
 clergy gathering around Christian churches to protect them.

BK>>  The Caliphate would be another dictatorship, and the people want
BK>> democracy.

 RW> Many do, but there's the mb fly in the ointment.

 I suspect the MB would not like a Caliphate, that would mean
 they are ruled from somewhere else, probably Saudi Arabia. Oh,
 and until a few decades ago Egyptians denied they were Arabs,
 they called themselves Egyptians.

BK>>  The FBI was investigating the tie between Saudi Arabia and
BK>>  funding for Al Qaeda before 2001. The Bush administration shut
BK>> down the investigation.

 RW> Acknowledged and agreed.  You notice in the joint committee
 RW> report of congress a bunch of information suppressed,
 RW> because they don't really want to acknowledge that publicly.

 RW> Anybody who's read on the subject a bit knows what was
 RW> being obliquely referenced in the joint committee report,
 RW> but heavily redacted from the public version.

 Just read Greg Palast.

 RW>> Sayyid Qutb and some of the
 RW>> founders of modern wahhabism were directly tied to the
 RW>> Muslim brotherhood in Egypt.  IT all is of a piece, and our
 RW>> so-called experts missed it.  They missed it because they
 RW>> chose to ignore it.

BK>>  They missed it because it's Saudi, and the Saudis have the oil.
BK>> Therefore they buy the politicians.

 RW> NOt even all of the FBI counterterror folks were aware of
 RW> it however.  See above.

 With Saudis involved they wouldn't be allowed to be.
