Tariq Abdelhaleem is an Egyptian Islamist cleric praised by Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri. Through 2023 the opening said he posted a video calling for violent jihad "and shedding of blood against Egyptian leader Abdel Fattah el-Sisi" after the overthrow of President Morsi. Today's opening carries neither claim, though jihad survives seven times in the body. A reader today does not learn that Abdelhaleem called for violent jihad and bloodshed against Egypt's president.
