I'm not familiar with the author and don't know his reliability or experience with the subject. However, I have a little trouble believing that bin Ladin's money isn't finding it's way into at least some of the pockets of Bedouin tribal leaders.
FYI, there are many Moslems who do not consider Christianity as a monotheistic religion due to it's doctrine of the Trinity.
interesting take, but the idea that individuals are possibly insprired by osama's words and not money does not bode well for us. from what i read elsewhere the attacks in sinai did not cost much, so is it really osama's money at work here?
interesting. just one more thing not to like about the muslim fanatics.
I think this is the beginning of something unfortunately. Egypt will eventually fall to militant radicalism over the next 10-15 years. But it wont be permanent.

It will be washed away by the collapse of the aswan Dam..
I wish it were that easy. egypt has a nato-like armed forces and it has nuclear potential. i fear an al-qaeda take over.
I wish it were that easy. Egypt has a nato-like military force. imagine al-qaeda with MI Abrams, Patriot missiles, and F-16s and Apaches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are not nuclear. In the event of a conflagration, they will drown like Pharoah and his host..
i highly doubt that my friend. egypt is not afghanistan. look what they managed in 73 with old second-grade soviet stuff. had we not bailed out israel, they would have overran them. they did in the sinai.
again, consider what we provide the military. they are as nato as a non-nato member could be in terms of exquipment, logistics, etc.
The Israelis ended up crossing the Suez Canal and encircled Egypt's Third Army along with its Soviet advisors. If the Aswan Dam is destroyed, just the air pressure alone will move forward at several atmospheres. Then comes the flood..
Egypt had far more modern equipment than Israel did in a few scraps with Israel, and STILL managed to get their butts handed to them by Israel.
Never discount the Israeli propensity for coming up with very clever ways of defending themselves.
i don't know what that means....
also, until us support, israel was getting it's b**** handed to it. somehting like 150 planes were shot down....let's not forget that folks. crossing of the suez alone is one of the greatest feats of modern warfare.
now back to the subject at hand:
my point here is that radicalization of egypt is very dangerous when one ponders their military might.
see above comment.
and Israel also retreat from south lebanon, another reality.....
I point you back to my comment, and all facts stated therein.
And Israel received Gaza and Golan heights, and other land by DEFENSIVE conquest.
Go troll elsewhere.
Hey guuys.. pro-Egypt propagandist troll.
