Re: Offsite links (none / 0)

It's another sample showing that "angry" may be an accurate description but "accurate" isn't; he just repeats his old "nobody in Egypt knows him" line, which I've already answered above - key organisers DO know of him and have read him and the Muslim Brotherhood published one of his books online.

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.

Nobody in The West™ knows him either, and that proves what, exactly?

Maybe you could now deal with what I said.

Maybe it just got lost in the confusion here, but what, precisely, is our reason to believe that these people were, in fact, "key organisers?" Are we going on an American newsie's say-so here, or do we have some sort of verifiable primary source for that claim?
