They come from the "Muslim Brotherhood", a group founded in 1928.
They may share some of the same principles even, but they are not inspired by al-Quaida. To use the term "al-quaida inspired" is simply an emotional shocker to get people mad. It amounts to a lie in my book. It is a fear tactic and has no place in factual reporting.
As such, I deem Fox unreliable.

I think the Muslim Brotherhood "may" have inspired al-Qaida. Lets be exact on our details here.
Second, the response above in red was completely and totally uncalled for. It was rude and unproductive. D-Ray said nothing about discrediting you in anyway. That was a spin YOU put in framed as an attack on him. I respectfully ask you back up and examine why you did this.
Thank you.

Using "al-Qaida" is done, IMHO, simply because the American people know the term and hate it. It is used as a way to capture the audience. It is less than exact in accuracy though.

Ok to start far too many contradiction and word semantics but that's ok.
In my search I could only find one reference linking Ansar Beit al-Maqdis to the Muslim Brotherhood. If you have anything please link it otherwise it's just your opinion. And what I found below was a person with a bone to pick.
Ansar Bait al-Maqdis (ABM, Arabic: أنصار بيت المقدس,or Supporters of the Holy House) (also known as Ansar Jerusalem, meaning "Supporters of Jerusalem")[4][5] is an active militant group that has been operating in the Sinai Peninsula[6] since the overthrow of Egyptian Revolution of 2011, with its operations increasing in the wake of the overthrow of Mohammed Morsi in July 2013.[2]
The group is believed to be the main group behind the militant activity in the Sinai.[7] The group recruits Bedouins as well as other Egyptians and people of other nationalities.[7]
Nabil Na'eem, a former member of Egyptian Islamic Jihad, has claimed that the group is funded by the Muslim Brotherhood's deputy chairman Khairat al-Shater.[8] Ten leaders from the group were reported to have escaped from the Sinai to Gaza and Marsa Matrouh in late 2013.[9] It was designated as a terrorist organization by the US State Department on 9 April 2014.

You must have a bone to pick also with the desire to run the talking point (Fox Lies).
Again Fox ran a news report from, Published May 04, 2014 Associated Press CAIRO.
As did all these other world news source. They are not all the same incedent but all refer to Al-Qaeda-inspired terrorist group Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis claimed responsibility.

Now none of this was the intention of the post but the direction you want to take it for what ever reason.
My though was a terrorist group pointing their finger at a Regime being "Oppressive".
"The group urged the Egyptian people to "rebel against this oppressive and tyrannical regime" and not resort only to peaceful opposition movements."
