To quaint unenlightened religious
celebrities and many others who are very much unaware of the critical state of
the ummah, being complicit in denigrating and condemning the Muslim Brotherhood
is nothing more than wayward commentary and sheer foolishness. They made the
fundamental error of saying something they know not. Another principle transgressed
is not doing anything in stopping the oppressor and not helping the oppressed. Another
maxim crossed is the lack of oversight, checking the facts before coming to a
conclusion. But the greatest of all is not recognizing and an abject failure in
getting to know who are their own brothers and sisters in the struggle for
Islam, freedom and justice.
They seem aloof and out of touch
with reality, full of indifference and lacking in the knowing the true situation
of their very brothers and sisters who are engaged in a precarious struggle,
what they suffered and went through and what harshness they are going to face.
They do not seem to care, another essential mistake.
They are so naïve that they do not
comprehend the ongoing effort to literally exterminate the Muslim Brotherhood
through sets of plots and series of strategic moves deviously planned. Global
forces are apparently working very hard to shut down the Muslim Brotherhood and
all its networks worldwide. The sworn enemies of the Brotherhood are said to have
drawn the Ikhwan into an elaborate trap, say some, to expose their leadership
and intricate organization. Their strength tested and seemingly breached. The
Egyptian people’s support and resilience wanes easily. The general population
are too hard up and hard pressed to grasp the larger issues at hand. Even mass
murder fails to move the Egyptian people’s conscience nor the world for that
matter. The people still prefer strongmen even if along then way they lose
their dignity, freedom and rights. They are still Mubarak’s children incapable
of going beyond a once glorious revolution – the Arab Spring.
Either they are completely
ignorant of facts or are simply covering up their ears, eyes and senses,
suppressing their consciousness at the plight of their brothers and sisters who
made a stand in the name of religion, justice and humanity. The Ikhwan Muslimin
were only recently massacred openly while performing their fajr prayers. They were then butchered when Egyptian security
forces violently stormed their camps in Raba’a Square. The masjid they were
taking shelter was partly burned down by the gruesome attack which saw
thousands of unarmed men, women and children being shot, killed and maimed. Many seem not to notice that
there was a group of young female Ikhwan
supporters who were sentenced for up to 16 years imprisonment. 529 Ikhwan
supporters are now on death row in an unprecedented mockery of a trial making it to the book of world records and
history. Albeit a dark history and another black mark in Egypt’s corrupt
narrative as well as a dirty blotch to the world community which allowed such a
ludicrous thing to happen.
An elected president is toppled
and is being tried as a common criminal for murder but those who were killed
were his own supporters and the killers were members of their own national army
and security forces who were supposed to protect them as citizens. His
supporters have been sentenced to death by large numbers. Arab states
especially the rich Gulf nations are suppressing the Ikhwan, banning them and demonizing
them. Arab states which owe heavily Ikhwan who since the 60’s provided the manpower,
intellectual and professional capability to develop their education, commerce
and industry. Europe is already beginning through UK in mulling shutting down
the Ikhwan and labeling it as they labeled al Qaeda, simply designating them as
terrorists.
Eloquent speakers here and there rather
relish talking of the End of Days and the coming of the Beast wowing their mesmerized
audience with tales beyond but are quite hapless and totally unprepared for comprehending
such calamity in real terms. They seem not to realize that among the oft spoken
signs are that there will come a time where the forces of truth are painted as false and vice versa –
the people fall for them.
In terms of the etiquette of
learning, respecting and honouring teachers, there is a profound gap – a disconnect.
There was this religious celebrity who recites al ma’thurat for the public but is oblivious to the fact the al ma’thurat comes from the traditions
of the Ikhwan. How pathetic and how tragic.
