| | Egyptian Islamic Jihad |
| | The members of Egyptian Islamic Jihad are Sunni Islamic fundamentalists who want to overthrow Egypt's secular government and replace it with a Taliban-style theocracy. | | | Egyptian Islamic Jihad and other domestic groups have distinguished themselves in both ambition and sheer bloodiness. | | | Sadat's assassins were connected to the Brotherhood, EIJ and Gama'a al-Islamiyah, via radical Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, a blind cleric who doubles as "spiritual leader" for both groups. |
