‘No, the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood is greatly overstated in the press. They have a strong presence in Egypt socially and politically, and an active gun-running franchise in Syria. Beyond that minimal.

The north of Africa doesn’t have the arab influence throughout, many ethnic Italians, Berbers, French. Too much of a tribal melting pot for the MB to get established beyond Egypt.’

I agree. But many on here and in the conservative half of America have already decided that all of North Africa, from Spanish Morocco to the Egypt-Israel border, is going to be one big Al Queda state.

The world is too complex for most Westerners and Jihadists to understand.
