This lecture actually ignores the other major power player in the Muslim world and Middle East in general - Turkey. Through the Muslim Brotherhood Turkey would clandestinely push their influence and promote extremism such as in the case of the Siege of Mecca and the most extreme Mujahideen that would go on to form Al Qaeda. The Muslim Brotherhood is essentially the public political wing of Turkish Clerics and originally comprised of the remnants of the intelligence apparatus and the bureaucracy of the Ottoman Empire.

The least informative speaker in this forum. This was grade school level and presented in a manner that seemed to doubt the audience IQ and education . This important subject needs to be revisited by a different and better expert.( Unless the grade school lecture is what was asked for?)
