    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.
