FILE - In this Feb. 10, 2011 file photo, anti-government protesters demonstrate in Tahrir Square in downtown Cairo, Egypt. Osama bin Laden and his jihadi rhetoric once resonated with millions, especially those in the Arab world who saw militant Islam as their best hope for throwing off the shackles of corrupt, oppressive governments. But 10 years after 9/11, the dominant theme in the uprisings across the Middle East is a clamor for democracy _ with al-Qaida's militant ideology largely relegated to the sidelines.
