Another family firm exploiting a more favorable business climate is Nadim. Once a maker of traditional furniture for Arab oil sheiks, it is becoming a producer of modern designs for trendy European and American boutiques.

Abdallah Schleifer, director of the Adham Center for television journalism at the American University in Cairo, credits bin Laden's canny, opportunistic broadening of his message.
