There was a strong debate about the British Security Services to investigate the Muslim Brotherhood and to study whether it is a terrorist group or not, and whether its members in Britain are involved in terrorist attacks in Egypt. Some people believe that the Britain government is taking the investigations seriously, while others believe it's not. The other team believes it is but a game played by Britain to deny its support to the terrorist group that documents prove it was supported by Britain since its very beginning.
I have found it very confusing to name those who believe that Rabaa Adawia and Nahda sit-ins were but peaceful sit-ins! They are neither handicapped nor blind, but they can't see or understand. Those people are clearly brain washed that they are not able to see the “peaceful demonstrators” shooting security forces! In fact, the Muslim Brotherhood group can not hide its ugly face any longer. However, some people still believe this ugly face is not of this terrorist group. The truth is this group is the source of many terrorist organizations all over the world. Even a Mafia can't cooperate with foreign intelligence agencies against their home countries, which was proudly made many times by the Muslim Brotherhood.
We heared the bad news of violence and bloodshed between tribes in Aswan that nobody is able to stop. Tribal problems exist all over the world; however, with civilization and civility, such tribal values disappears before values of belonging to the state. The state and its institutions have disappeared while weapon was in the hands of fighting people. The real problem was the disappearance of state in such critical crisis and time. Even security forces were not able to intervene and save dozens of people who were killed in a bloody massacre.
The Turkish Prime Minister believes that his victory in the recent municipal elections in his country is but a victory for the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt! In fact, he can do even more and feel so proud as he got even more votes than he got before the latest corruption scandals and his dictatorial decisions such as banning Youtube and Twitter.
It was strange coincidence that at the time the international organization of the Muslim Brotherhood planned to burn Egypt, one of its most dangerous terrorist cells belonging to Ansar al- Bayt al-Maqdis was arrested. In fact, the Muslim Brotherhood and Ansar al- Bayt al-Maqdis never cared for Egypt and don’t mind destroying the homeland for their own interests.
Three years ago, the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafis have invited the people to vote "yes" on their fanatic constitution draft, in which they drafted an Islamic constitution not caring for the homeland and hoping to convert it to an Islamic Caliphate. 75% voted "yes", which the Islamists named the battle of ballot boxes!
Al-Ahram Egyptian newspaper published news about the isolation of representative of Qatar at the meeting of Arab foreign ministers. How come Al-Ahram claims such nonsense? In Fact, journalism is about telling people the truth, not what you wish to say. It has nothing to do with the satisfaction of the readers. Thus, it’s unacceptable to fake news in order to satisfy the reader. Moreover, it was no logical that representative of Qatar was lonely in the meeting for several reasons.
Washington has been using human rights against its opponents since the very first Human Rights report published in 1949. The same technique was used against the Soviet Union as well as Mubarak. Another report was published this year to denounce human rights' violations during the dispersal of Rabaa Adawia and Nahda sit-in and after that.
I wonder how come we as well as many countries have double standards that we judge and see what happened in Egypt in 2011 a revolution and at the same time consider what happened in 2013 as military coup. Same thing happened with the revolution in ukraine when the parliament removed the president responding to the demands of only 30.000 protestors rather than millions in the egyptian streets and squares.
In order to understand why Rebel movement was divided over which candidate to support for presidency, especially after Hamdin Sabahi decided to run for president, we have to think about the beginning of the movement. It started aiming to eliminate the dictatorship of the Muslim Brotherhood and overthrow former president Mohamed Morsy. It was such a huge threat that required all people to unite.
Trying to re-assure the Egyptian people, some people claim Egypt is able to fight terrorism just like she did in the nineties. I don’t want to cause panic, but I need to demonstrate that Egypt and terrorism are different from the nineties.
Dozens of deaths and injured caused by bombing Cairo Security Directorate by a car bomb resulted in the destruction of the adjacent Islamic museum as well as enormous damage to the Directorate building. A deep hole, six meters depth, was caused by the strong bomb. Moreover, one man was killed and 15 were injured in Dokki clashes, and a homemade bomb exploded next to Talbia police station.
Dear Egyptian readers, let me congratulate you on your participation in the referendum and the victory of "yes" supporters. This constitution that many people excreted great effort to draft and pass it. It is a real consensus constitution sponsored by no fascist or terrorist group. Moreover, it came after many fruitful debates and discussions to benefit the whole homeland and not a single group. However, this "yes" is very different from other yeses we're used to as it reflects the real will of the Egyptian people, since this voting process was not forged.
During a soft skills course, the trainer asked his trainees to save their balloons just for one minute. Instead, each of them tried to blow up the balloons of the others. Consequently, they got their balloons blown up except for one who could save his as didn’t try to blow up the other’s balloons.
Crimes are so different from mistakes as they are not easily forgotten and must be given account for. However, if you belong to supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood, you may not notice such big difference between what have been done by Gen. Abdul Fatah al-Sisi and Dr. Mohamed Morsy.
