Sayyid Imam will speak (Arabic link)

Al-Masry Al-Youm ^

Aka Dr Fadl’s book is finished and will be exclusively printed in Egypt’s Al-Masri Al-Youm newspaper starting this week.

According to Al-Masri Al-Youm, he will reveal new secrets about Jihad operations in Pakistan, Europe and Arab countries, but this seems more of an attempt (by the paper) to generate readership interest.

The Islamic Group (Al-Gama’a AL-Islamiyya) is substantially further along in their revisions process, and is on the verge of making the jump to the Islamic centralism espoused by Qaradawi and the Brotherhood, although they still have some ways to go.

Read Khali Anani’s article on why they are not quite there yet : http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2008/922/op2.htm

As of last December, when he last spoke, Sayyid Imam was a long way behind the Islamic Group but we will soon find out to what extent he has closed the gap.
