The “new” Egyptian leader of al-Qaeda

Following the death of Osama bin Laden, it had been speculated that his second hand man Ayman al-Zawahiri was to succeed him as the leader of al-Qaeda.

For the time being however, al-Qaeda has chosen a “new caretaker” to lead the terrorist group, Saif al-Adel, an Egyptian militant who has been under indictment for the U.S. embassy bombings in Africa and one of the masterminds behind the 1981 assassination of Egyptian President Anwar al Sadat.

According to terrorism expert Peter Bergen, Adel’s track record also includes joining the U.S. backed Mujahedin in Afghanistan and training al-Qaeda operatives in Sudan. Perhaps what is most shocking of all is that Adel believes that radical jihad should appeal to the “youth of the ummah”.

In other words, the youth of a Muslim community or the nation should appeal to radical jihad. What we have seen in Egypt is the beginnings of radical Islam growing out of control. While the news media will want you to believe that these were “so called” peaceful youth revolutions demanding the removal of Hosni Mubarak, which is true to some extent, the reality of the situation is that the Muslim Brotherhood used these protests as a catalyst in achieving a goal, which is to get control over Egypt.

It shouldn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that both Adel and al-Zawahiri are part of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, the same “god father” organization of all terrorist groups in the Middle East that has vowed to whip Israel off the map and for the first time, we are witnessing Sunni and Shiite Muslims working together against Israel as a result of the protests throughout the Middle East.

The news media and the Obama Administration does not appear to be too concerned over the new diplomatic relations between Egypt and Iran, or the fact that Egypt has opened up the Gaza Strip or the fact that these new al-Qaeda leaders are members of the Muslim Brotherhood or the fact that just last week in Egypt, Muslims were targeting Christians and burning down churches. Really peaceful democracy isn’t it?

In all, it works as a victory for al-Qaeda. If the Muslim Brotherhood does get a majority control over Egypt, this allows the terrorist group to establish additional training bases and utilize the youth for their operation. Furthermore, al-Qaeda has a presence in Libya, Sudan, Somalia and Yemen. Five countries next to each other. Again, it doesn't take rocket science to figure this out.

Honestly though, how does President Obama sleep at night knowing that because of his vocal support to remove Hosni Mubarak as President of Egypt, has turned that entire country and the Middle East into a level of instability?
