Abdel Monem Abouel Fetouh (former Muslim Brotherhood leader, described as a “liberal Islamist” by the New York Times, on 9/11) (2011): “I don’t believe it was jihadists—it was too big an operation. This was done by a country, not individuals. It’s not a conspiracy theory—it’s just logical. They didn’t bring crimes before the U.S. justice system until now. Why? Because it’s part of the conspiracy” (Abdel Monem Abouel Fetouh quoted in Eric Trager, “Why is the Middle East still in thrall to 9/11 conspiracy theories?”, The New Republic, 3 September 2011: https://newrepublic.com/article/94546/middle-east-radical-conspiracy-theories ).
