This is a black day in Egypt , for Muslim Brotherhood political history. It seems
the party is stuck in a vicious circle of conspiracy and hatred by the
secularist and leftist die hard, who used the secular courts to ban the party
and seize its assets. General Sisis’s grab of power had not been enough to leave
them alone, It is a familiar predicament for the Brotherhood, which has been
banned for most of its 85-year history and has successfully fought off every
threat to its existence.
The group's London-based
spokesman, Abdullah al-Haddad, tweeted: "The Muslim Brotherhood are part
and parcel of Egyptian society. Corrupt illegitimate judicial decisions cannot
change that … [The Muslim Brotherhood] will continue to be present on the
ground: they cannot kill an idea, they tried before and failed – they are
trying again and they will fail."
Brotherhood members who
remain at liberty say that the arbitrary arrests and state-led killings of
their colleagues remain a far more serious threat to the organisation's operational
capacity than anything else. Most of the leadership are in hiding and many of
its senior leaders are in jail. This has opened leadership positions for the
youths to take responsibility for the group. The youths are more revolutionary,
and they will continue to strive and struggle to survive this crisis, and may come
up with new ideas to confront this evil Pharaoh Sisi.
It is natural, where ever
there is Pharaoh, there will be Musa. Tyranny and oppression has a limited life,
soon people will rise up again to drown Sisi and his followers in a new wave of
protests. But this might take time, and time is a witness to all past dictators
who had their moments of glory, but perished away violently without mercy.
The real irony is the
attitude of the west. On one hand they propagate democracy by the ballot box, but
when it does not suit them they support rule by bullets. General Sisi had all
the support it needed from USA and the Israeli Saudi axis before it staged the coup.
And with their money and support Sisi will continue to bury any hope the young
youths of Egyptian revolutionary had when it started the movement from Tahrir Square . America is a two faced democratic evil for the world. It is
supporting dictators in many of the Arab country, as well as providing tacit
support in places like Bangladesh . A stable, free and fair world can not happen by pick
and choose. The standard of principle should be applied the same for every
country. Otherwise, marginalized, disfranchised angry people will give rise to
more terrorism and war.
The Egyptian people need to
rise up from their sleep and consider whether dictatorship of Sisi is better
than a democratically elected president. They need to look from a different
dimension to challenge western domination, and secularist folly to return back
to the glory of past Islamic history. The Banning of Egypt Brotherhood
underscores the need to fight on with even more determination and zeal to
uproot injustices in the Muslim world.
