crowded field
"Ever since evading his pursuers in the Tora Bora mountains of Afghanistan in November 2001, Mr bin Laden’s slipperiness in the face of America’s efforts to find him had inspired jihadists everywhere. In the crowded field of Islamist terrorism it also preserved al-Qaeda, his loose-limbed organisation, as the leading brand."

éééé, a ideia era essa, mas não saiu à primeira. Tal como a si! Por vezes, temos que "moer" a frase! boa sorte! E, qualquer coisa, já sabe, pode enviar por mensagem email!
| Inclino-me mais para "miscelânea", isto é, o terrorismo islamita não ser representado apenas por uma organização mas por muitas... Seja como for, agradeço! |
| Boa para multifacetado!!! Obrigada! |

vastidão / multidão
Entre a multidão de terroristas islamistas (dando uma pequena volta ao texto)...
| Vastidão e miscelânea foram as minhas primeiras hipóteses de tradução até a Lígia ter proposto "multifacetado" que encaixa que nem uma luva no meu texto... De qualquer maneira, muito obrigada pela ajuda! |
