Both Hebrew and Arabic are Semitic Languages. There are dozens of variations of Semitic languages used throughout the world, and
hundreds - perhaps even
thousands - of distinctive dialects; not to mention the influence of Western education, or living abroad, on all of the above.
Here's a decent breakdown of just the Egyptian variations of Arabic:
The Egyptian variants spoken in central and southern Egypt, referred to collectively as Sa'idi (Upper Egyptian), are mainly descended from the northern Egyptian dialect but are distinct from the Cairene sociolect in their phonology due to early contacts with Bedouin Arab dialects. They carry little prestige nationally though continue to be widely spoken, including in the north by rural migrants who have adapted partially to Lower Egyptian dialect. For example, the Sa'idi genitive exponent is usually replaced with Lower Egyptian bita?, but the realization of /q/ as /g/ is retained. Second and third-generation southern Egyptian migrants are monolingual in Cairene Arabic, but maintain cultural and familial ties to the south.
The traditional division between Lower and Upper Egypt and their respective dialectal differences go back to ancient times. Egyptians today commonly refer to the people of the north as ba?arwa and to those of the south as ?a?ayda. The dialectal differences throughout Egypt, however, are more wide ranging and do not neatly correspond to this simple division. There is a linguistic shift from the eastern to the western parts of the delta, and the dialects spoken from Gizah to el Minya are further grouped into a Middle Egypt cluster. Despite these differences, there are features distinguishing all Egyptian Arabic dialects from any other Arabic variety, including the postposition of demonstratives and interrogatives, the modal meaning of the imperfect, and the integration of the participle.
The dialect of western Alexandria is different from all other forms of Egyptian, as linguistically it forms part of the Maghrebi group of dialects. The same was formerly true of the Egyptian form of Judaeo-Arabic.

Mohammed Atta grew up in Cairo, studied English and German, and then spent six years living in Germany. Following his time in Germany, he spent 2-3 more years traveling and training with foreign Muslim fighters from every corner of the globe - a collection who spoke Farsi, Arabic, Dari, Pashto, or any one of a thousand lexical variations in between.
At that point, I'm sure his
childhood Cairene Arabic had changed quite a bit, so I'll let you figure out the rest...
That said, you're nothing more than a conspiracy-addicted troll. Please stop crapping in these forums.
kkthxbye.
