[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 (talkcontribs) 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.

Islamic Jihad Organization [Egyptian Islamic Jihad]

In a meeting in the Sudan we (Iraq March 1993) agreed to renew our relations with the Islamic Jihad Organization in Egypt. Our information on the group is as follows: It was established in 1979. Its goal is to apply the Islamic shari' a law and establish Islamic rule. It is considered one of the most brutal Egyptian organizations. It carried out numerous successful operations, including the assassination of Sadat. We have previously met with the organization's representative and we agreed on a plan to carry out commando operations against the Egyptian regime. http://a.abcnews.com/images/pdf/Pentagon_Report_V1.pdf —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.87.137.28 (talk) 01:51, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
