And today we see these people, who were never close to Islam, and certainly
not to fanaticism and fundamentalism.

Some of them underwent a transformation. We know why.

why it happened because I hear it from the Bedouin themselves. It happened
because
of the Disengagement of 2005.

integrated into the Gaza economy via the smuggling and tunnel industry.
The second thing. The flow and influence of
Hamas and Salafi ideology from Gaza to tribes in Sinai. "

This is what happened.
