#1 Israel captured Jerusalem's Old City and the rest of Arab East Jerusalem from Jordanian control in 1967.

Uh, after a suprise attack by ~~Arab~~ Islamic Nations against Israel.
20 years earlier Jordan stole it from Israel during a Multi-~~Arab~~ Islamic Nation Sneak Attack.

There! Fixed That.

#2 Egypt, I think, was actually Soviet-backed socialist-nationalist at that time.

Also rather 'Islamist' is inaccurate considering the political conditions in 1967:

The King of Jordan and President Abdel Nasser of Egypt have signed a joint defence agreement. The news came as a surprise to Egyptians and foreigners alike since King Hussein has often been criticised for cosying up to the West.

Just two days ago, the president had called the king an "imperialist lackey".

But it seems they have found a common enemy in Israel.

#4 Pappy,
Egypt has been 90 % Islamic since the arab muslim invasion of 641
Islam in Egypt
A national socialist muslim is still a muslim with the same hatreds then as now. No Free thinking is allowed. Allen has spoken.

#5 You used the term "Islamist".

That isn't the same as "muslim".

That would be like saying "Floridian" and "mouth-breather". One may be both, or either.
