==Early rise==
In 1954 Egyptian [[King Farouk]] was overthrown by a military junta headed by Nasser.
Although the Egyptian terrorist organization, the [[Muslim Brotherhood]] helped Nasser organize a [[coup]] to take over the Egyptian government, they soon became disgruntled by some of his [[secular]] ideals. In October 1954 the Muslim group attempted to assassinate Nasser, the attempt wounded a guard but missed the president. His popularity rose when after the gunshots, Nasser shouted to the crowed, "Let them kill Nasser! What is Nasser but one among many? I am alive, and even if I die, all of you are Gamal Abdul Nasser!<ref>The Looming Tower, al-Qaeda and the road to 9/11 (book), by Lawrence Wright</ref>"
