Egyptian authorities have arrested the brother of al Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahri, a security official said Saturday.

He said Mohammed al-Zawahri, leader of the ultraconservative Jihadi Salafist group, was detained at a checkpoint in Giza, the city across the Nile from Cairo.

Mohammed al-Zawahri's group espouses a hard-line ideology but was not clandestine prior to Egypt's July 3 coup. He was allied with ousted President Mohammed Morsi, an Islamist, whose supporters are now taking to the streets to protest the killings of its supporters in a security crackdown earlier this week.

You feel being a conservative in the Middle East is no different than being a conservative in the US?

Really?

No cultural or historical differences between the US Western and Arabs Cultures?

Seriously?

Why? He is, according to the news report, an "ultra-conservative". Not just your standard, run-of-the-mill conservative, mind you. And to your average, mind-numbed drone out there, that probably means he is a member of the republican party and watches Fox News

I don't THINK I fall into that category. But one never knows . . .
