Religious leaders being "cooperative" with the the political leaders. The nationalistic movement of nasser, and what followed him preached hatred of America, and the west for no reason but to have a bogyman for the Egyptian and the Arab people to scare them off and have them too busy with hating the west instead of looking at their own problems. Nasser died and his useless communist ideology died with him, but the hate and the social problem lived long after him. Nasser bent the religious authority to agree with what he wants. I don't see why the head of the religious authority in Egypt didn't say that corrupt leaders should have their hands cut off too. Mubarak would be happy with that one, I bet. A lot of people blame islam for terrorism, it is not the reason, the reason are politicians like those who tailor religion to their needs. These young people are fed hate all their lives, they are taught to twist faith to their needs. I don't care what faith these guys were, they would have done the same thing.
