Description
Summary:Information is given on Islamic fundamentalism in Egypt. The author distinguishes between a mainstream attraction to Islamic fundamentalism and radical Islamic movements. Discontent with the government is common in Egypt and the government is challenged by the radical Islamic movements. However, these movements do not constitute an alternative to the government. As this article argues it is more likely that the government is replaced by a military than by an Islamic state. (DÜI-Mjr)
