When Thieves Rule!

Introduction:

1- The military rule men in Egypt have never been serious in their alleged combat of terrorism and fanaticism; they helped in creating both so as to become a frightful alternative that will convince Egyptians that the military rule is the lesser of two evils and better that theocratic terrorist state. The military rule men left fanatic thought to spread and mushroom like cancerous cells in Al-Azhar institution, the Ministry of Religious Endowments (Awqaf), all media, and all educational institution. If deluded youths decided to believe in and apply in action what they hear, read, and see in the mosques, schools, universities, press, TV, and all other media, they will find the State Security Apparatus men waiting for them for torture sessions. If such youths ever get out of torture cells alive, they would turn into time bombs that will certainly explode. So many time bombs of this sort have exploded in the 1980s and the 1990s in Egypt. Popular time bombs of the masses caused the ouster of Mubarak in 2011 and the ouster of the terrorist MB group president in 2013. Egypt has been in a state of civil-war signs and preparations in Cairo streets and in some big cities, especially in Sinai and the West Desert. The reason: Wahabi MB terrorists got mad against the citizens when they lost the rule of Egypt after the 30^th June 2013 revolution. We have to remember that Wahabis have monopolized the field of religious thought and media in Egypt for about four decades; they have raised fiercer than ever generations of terrorist and fanatics. Such generations face old over-sixty military men who rule now. We fear that when the military men who rule now would have won with the use of arms to control Egypt, the nascent Wahabi youths of fanatics and terrorists might rule Egypt in the near future. The generation of Mubarak and his cronies who used to rule Egypt for 30 years is now over 80 years old. The current ruling generation of military men, including the current Egyptian President, is about 60 years old. They will cease to exist one day, even without fighting or resistance of any type. Every human being is to die naturally someday. Egypt will be ruled by the youth generations one day inevitably. Youths are the vast majority of Egyptian citizens. The problem lies in the fact that these generations have been raised and brought up and educated in a corrupt manner, and their brains have been filled with the corrupt man-made, fashioned Wahabi creed under the name of Islam. Such youthful brains are filled with interminable grudges and anger against being marginalized and tortured and tormented. Such feelings began since childhood until their prime of youth. Their desire to take revenge would lead them to deal harshly with the ruled people who hailed the military rule before.

2- During the reign of the Mubarak regime, we have been writing to warn against such dangers. We have been rewarded with persecution and being followed and watched closely by the State Security Apparatus men. In contrast, fanatic clergymen of terrorist Wahabism used to live luxuriously under the auspices of the Mubarak regime. This state of affairs goes on in the reign of the current Egyptian President. The red-herring strategies are still used in Egyptian media; they divert citizens with cases and issues that cause sensational media coverage to make Egyptian citizens forget all about smuggling and thefts that go on until this very moment in Egypt.

3- We remember Safwat Al-Sharif, one of the Mubarak cronies, and one of his red herring episodes: Egyptians watched closely the TV screens when a youth claimed to be a repentant former terrorist, whose name was Adel Abdel-Baki. He was taught to memorize grand words against terror and to warn of its dangers. He exposed with detail teachings,وackled teachings and guidleines andplans of terrorists.  of its danger.ent,arms to control egypt, TV, and all other mediaguidelines, and plans of terrorists. Such red herring and fabrication caused sensation among the TV viewers; this has been the first time when public media become frank and daring. The target was realized; people got distracted and never talked for a long while about their country being robbed and its wealth being smuggled. The red herring episodes went on: arrest of supposedly homosexual men among respectable citizens to expose them cruelly, and then release them after losing their reputation. The red herring episodes are endless and go on until now. Another notable episode is butchers who slaughtered and sold flesh of donkeys in kebab meals. Other episodes go on every now and then.

4- During the red herring episode of the allegedly repentant former terrorist, we have written the following article in the opposition newspaper "Al-Ahrar" titled "The Repentant Terrorist", on 16-5-1994. This article is still applicable and readable after the passage of 21 years.

(Title: The Repentant Terrorist)

 * The attention of all Egyptians was piqued to a very high level of excited reaction concerning Adel Abdel-Baki the repentant former terrorist who appeared on TV. Countless press articles ensued. We have decided to wait for the brouhaha to end so as to write this article to whom it may concern.

* We heard no news from the allegedly repentant terrorist; whoever has read our articles would find no new items in the account of the former terrorist who made an appearance on public TV. We have warned countless times against the veritable danger of terrorist fanatic thought based on falsehoods called hadiths and religious fatwas that allow killings and robbing and theft. We have warned countless times against the so-called civil wing of terror: i.e., those clergymen who issue the above-mentioned fatwas.

* We have written before about the bad role of TV in shedding the limelight over corrupt clergymen and sheikhs who founded intellectually the civil wing of fanatic and terrorist thought. Combating terror can be done via TV due to its huge impact on citizens, but those among the ruling junta wait interminably for the ''right timing'' to follow the public opinion. They do not create events; they follow them to and wait for waves to carry them anywhere. Fanatic terror of extremists caused them to be mere reactionary agents who could not create a new reality. Terrorists of Wahabism and their agents always take the initiative. This occurred to Egyptian police before it recovered their awareness recently. The TV of the State followed the public opinion recently to cope with the zeitgeist, so to speak, when citizens got mad about crimes of terror. The TV program claimed that the confessions of the former terrorist have exposed the civil and armed wings of terrorism beyond all limits. It is apparent that this former terrorist had to knock so many doors of media to clear his conscience. Egyptian media played its role reluctantly in a battle that threatens the existence of Egypt itself after 70 centuries of civilization. When TV discussions were held to review the confessions, those of the cultural elite evaded the truth due to censorship. They kept beating around the bush.

* Clergymen readily confiscate enlightenment books if such books tackle and question and expose fanatic thought and its being infiltrated into all State institutions. Reform is direly needed and it must be done by God-fearing people who love Egypt, which is controlled by merciless junta. No one can obtain a copy of any of our published books, while books on the repentant terrorist can be found at the mosques doorsteps and most libraries. It is very ironic that in such a state of affairs, they talk about combating terrorism.)

Lastly:

"Among the people are those who say, "We believe in God and in the Last Day," but they are not believers. They seek to deceive God and those who believe, but they deceive none but themselves, though they are not aware. In their hearts is sickness, and God has increased their sickness. They will have a painful punishment because of their denial. And when it is said to them, "Do not make trouble on earth," they say, "We are only reformers." In fact, they are the troublemakers, but they are not aware."(2:8-12). God says nothing but the Truth.
