Talk:Egyptian Islamic Jihad

[edit] Merge proposition
Both articles are of the same organization --Chrisdab 02:57, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
- Disagree. Although there is some overlap (and the literature on the topic often blurs the distinction between the two), they are distinct organizations. —Morning star 04:31, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- Disagree. Further proof of distinction between the two groups lies in the fact that Islamic Jihad has merged with Al-Qaida, while Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya has officially denied any connection. Rahman is the spiritual leader of Al-Gama'a, while Zawahiri is the leader of the Islamic Jihad. They share roots in the Muslim Brotherhood, and a goal of overthrowing the Egyptian government, but one has renounced violence (Al-Gama'a) and the other still embraces violence (Islamic Jihad).

- Disagree. ok I can concede that they are seperate groups, but you will not know that by reading these articles on wikipedia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Chrisdab (talk • contribs) 06:39, 20 December 2006 (UTC).

I started a bio of Hani al-Sibai (of Londinistan) and added his name to the "see also" list. USMA and Cairo regard him as an EIJ shura member.
