One imagines that cronyism occurs in al-Qaeda. World-class terrorists, with
more sophisticated knowledge of cryptography, explosives, foreign languages,
concealment techniques, etc., are probably routinely passed over for
leadership
positions -- in favor of slavering morons who either have a better verbatim
memory of Qutb's writings or are related to some bigwheel al-Qaeda with
connections or plenty of baksheesh.
