US reviews Egypt aid as Arab nations pour $12 billion into post-Morsi regime

9. There is a fierce division between Saudi- and Qatari-funded camps

I think you are greatly oversimplifying matters to just boil it down to "religious fundamentalists", as if they are some single united front in such regards. Historically, the Muslim Brotherhood has never been friendly to Saudi interests--Sayyid Qutb and Hasan al-Banna were early ideological rivals to Saudi-funded Wahhabiyyah and the Ikhwan has remained such ever since. Recently (last several years), the Ikhwan has been the organization adopted by the Qatari monarchy to advance its interests in the region, primarily using al-Jazeera and their famous televangelist-for-hire Sheikh Yusef Qaradawi (imagine Pat Robertson if he rented his services out to government power) to promote the party internationally.

The Qataris and Saudis agree on incitement and massacres against Shiites and pursuing aggression against Iran, and both operate under the aegis of the US, but find common ground on little else. The rivalry between the Saudi and Qatari dynasties (emphasis on the nasty) is a key factor in the overthrow of the Mursi and the present events in Egypt. The Qatari dictatorship is reputed to have spent nearly $17 billion in recent years to advance the Brotherhood in Egypt and Syria, and elsewhere, during the present so-called "Arab Spring" events. Correspondingly, in Egypt the Saudis backed salafist sheikhs grouped around the al-Nour party and remnants of the Mubarak deep state, both of which presently dominate affairs in post-coup Egypt.
