In every Mideast nation, there are religious extremists. Hell there are religious extremists in this country but generally Egyptians are not as radical as Iranians and Egyptians actively fight the more radical elements in their society: "The Continuing Threat of Radical Islam Radical Islam has been active in Egypt for the last 75 years and has had a direct influence on that country's political life and economy. In fact, it has been and remains an important obstacle to development in Egypt. The Muslim Brotherhood is alive and kicking, and continues to infiltrate the political arena and strengthen its position. In addition, the radical groups of al-Gamaa were not completely crushed, and they are still trying to regroup and reorganize. Observers foresee no imminent danger of major disturbances in Egypt today. However, in the continued absence of economic progress and a relaxation of the political system, disorder might occur, which the Muslim Brotherhood could join and intensify. In addition, there is always a danger that a radical group might carry out new operations, as occurred in Sinai. There is also a possibility that an organization like al-Qaeda might make contact with extremists inside Egypt. We should remember that the Egyptian Muhammad Atta was the head of the 9/11 team, and that Ayman al-Zawahiri is bin Laden's chief deputy. It is known that many Egyptians from the jihad group joined al-Qaeda, and that al-Qaeda has tried to make contact with Hamas. To protect itself, Egypt has an omnipresent security service and maintains emergency rule twenty-four years after the assassination of President Sadat, meaning that the danger of radical Islam remains serious." jcpa.org
