Am reading your link. This guy is SLICK and popular in Europe. Is called a voice of moderation there by naive, clueless Euros. He's dangerous because he's slick. His goal is to force Europe towards Islam same as his brothers who make the violent Jihad and bomb Spain and threaten Italy.
One should not visit the sins of the father on the kid, but the son of the founder of the Brotherhood? This guy had advocated stoning for cheating wives, albeit with conditions to satisfy the naive. I view him as the enabler of jihad, all dressed nice and all, softspoken, ostensibly rational but very very smart.
AQ is simply an extension of the MB, long sheltered in Saudi.
Remember, Zawahiri was an MB'er.
