the arab and islamic nations have suffered two catastrophes in the last 100 years, the rise of israel and the emergence of religious extremist movements. the impact of the first disaster affected all northern arabian countries and had a profound impact on their tracks, albeit to varying degrees.
the subversion impact of the second catastrophe, or the muslim brotherhood in particular and its affiliates which were found almost everywhere from the philippines to malaysia, indonesia, afghanistan, pakistan and the middle east, including iran, egypt, north africa, nigeria, mali, russia, europe and the americas.
therefore the harm was much more atrocious that what israel had done and contributed to strengthening it. these movements have shed blood and killed people and destroyed property and undermined systems beyond imagination.
the brotherhood is one of the first movements of political islam in the modern era and has not hesitated to use violence against its opponents including assassination and intimidation as evidenced by their slogan and the previous and subsequent leaders starting from al-banna and even sayyid qutb.
many groups that emerged from the muslim brotherhood have adopted violence as an approach such al-takf r wa al-hijrah, (arabic: “excommunication and holy fight) al-qaeda, jemaah islamiah, islamic jihad, bukhram, abu sayyaf, and finally daesh.
a majority of those who led and founded the terrorist organizations were products of the brotherhood school from intellectual and doctrinal aspects. their thinking was behind the september 11 disaster, in which the arabs and muslims were the most affected, and the world is still paying a high price for the crime.
in an interview with one of the muslim brotherhood leaders, that was conducted after the liberation, and in response to a question about the position of his group from the global organization after betraying kuwait said the brotherhood in kuwait had cut off all ties with the organization as of march 1, 1990.
the leader vehemently denied any relationship, and how theirs became the ‘constitutional movement’ to cut any connection with the brotherhood. his response came in light of the disgraceful and shameful situation which all ‘brothers’ of the world stood against the freedom of nations led by america and britain in liberating their homeland – kuwait -- from the despicable occupation of saddam (hussein).
however, the same person said and wrote several times that the kuwaiti brothers are sympathetic to the global organization and in touch with it. he also pointed out in a recent article that the mistake of president morsilies in his failure to strengthen muslim brotherhood in all joints of the state, that is to say to transform egypt into a full brotherhood state as is the case with the western democracies which, after winning the elections forms a government from within to facilitate the work.
this is a naïve comparison, and is similar to the example of a us president forming a government of catholics only, and the declaration of the vatican a reference to facilitate the administration of the state.
the writer did not forget to confirm that the mistake of morsi was the cause why the muslim brotherhood lost power, and that if they had succeeded in tightening the grip on all vital bodies, the brotherhood would have continued in power forever according to their plan and a blatant recognition of the authoritarian dictatorship of the brotherhood. the writer also said the rule of morsi could have remained until god inherits earth (forever).
another member has written an article on the peaceful movement of the muslim brotherhood which is evidenced by the rejection of president trump and britain to include the movement on the terrorists list. he described trump’s behavior as “wisdom” and did not hesitate to add that what prevented trump from the classification of the muslim brotherhood is the fear of anger of countries such as turkey, tunisia, morocco and kuwait.
this is funny, since when did president trump, in particular, pay attention to the delicate feelings of these? he added that the brotherhood’s classification as a terrorist organization would threaten us national security and destabilize sunni muslim states and as such the classification will send a message to the world that america is not keen to promote democracy in the region.
i do not know since when did the brotherhood become the spearhead of democracy in the region, forgetting that the other member mentioned one day earlier that the mistake of the muslim brotherhood in ruling egypt was in their failure to finish off all their opponents and their failure to adhere to the rule of egypt until the day of judgment, means forever?
the writer praised the position of the two countries america and britain because it may have been appropriate for his whims, so he described their behavior as wisdom. had their decision been contrary to his desire, he would have called it a ‘conspiracy’.
i do not really know why he did not think that the decision of britain and america not to terminate the brotherhood, and leave them active and alive is in itself a kind of conspiracy on the whole region. there is no one better than them to push the region to further backwardness and further conflict and shed blood and spread murder to reach power even if it means walking on corpses.
