EGYPT: Pro-Democracy demonistrators submit themselves to no one but to their creator.

 

I have been so keenly following up the revolution in Egypt, and since it stared I have learned a few lessons. I am not a professional journalist and I know nothing of the tools of the industry, but I am a writer and above all a human being capable of analyzing and dissecting. I have learned...
  1. "who says I do not know has already rendered his opinion", or "Who says I do not know has already obtained one half of the knowledge"
  2. Be open minded, but do not believe in all what is said. discern and what does not sit well in your mind, throw it out the window.
  3. Instinct and intuition though must be considered, do not totally rely on them.
  4. Truthfulness is really plain. So is wrongfulness.  But when you feel you are in the gray area that lies in between, do not beat around the bush, but you either say the truth, or shut up.
  5. Let not yourself be carried away by a common belief or common opinion as commonality is not necessarily right all the time. It has its own seed of corruption which can be a meaningless expansion of itself.
  6. Truth can be sometimes shocking and unfathomable.
  7. Sedition is  worse than murder, hypocrisy is demeaning, and one must never compromise his principle for whatever reason be it self-interest or fear.
  8. Greatest "Jihaad" is not the "Jihaad"  waged against your enemy in holy wars, but the one against one's self to restrain it from being tempted.
  9. It is always in one's best interest to curb his enthusiasm. It is good to be enthusiastic, but enthusiasm should be controlled in order to have clearness of mind and not be biased.

ABOVE: Protesters 
submitting themselves to the will of their creator, but in the meantime
they are on guard
BELOW: The dictator is lying, clinging and being 
arroganr.

Most of what I have mentioned above, I knew before, but all of it is further confirmed and proven to be totally true despite all theories of relativism. There are things the truthfulness thereof just remain unchanged; remain constant in the bosom of time.

That said, the readers'  right to ask why I am bringing to their attention all the above is totally understandable. The reason is what I have heard, read, watched and felt since the commencement of the current events in Egypt:...
  1. Conspiracy theories about what is happening all over the Middle east, 
  2. Involvement of the MOSSA and the CIA. Some say both are behind the uprising of the Egyptian people,
  3. Criticism of Muhammad ElBaradei and fear of the Muslim Brotherhood, 
  4. Usual distortion of words either intentionally or out of ignorance rooted as I mentioned above in repetition and parroting.  .
    Now let us walk the road together..


    Conspiracy theories 
    about what is happening all over
    the Middle east

    The most ridiculous thing is what I have heard of two lunatics: Alex John whose voice sounds like a crow cry and hurts my ears, and David Ike who'll support any far fetched theory as long as it conforms with his own ideas. Nonetheless, I do not totally discredit what they say. Sometimes there is an element of truth in it. 

    It is recommended that one listen to wisdom despite sometimes it happens that it comes forth out of the mouth of a fool. It is the duty of the one who perceives tit o discern if what is said is truthful or not.



    Involvement of the MOSSA and the CIA. 
    Some say both are behind the uprising of the 
    Egyptian people,

    Although there are There are reasons that have lead to believe that, such as: a) Israel's nuisance role in the Middle eastern area and its promotion of ethnic and religion division, b) The strong interest of the USA and some European countries like Britain in the the Middle east specially Egypt and their constant  convert concussion  for such interest not to be jeopardized, c) Financial aid of almost 1.5 billion/year given to Egypt to maintain loyalty of regime regardless of corruption --- the Egyptian revolution so far proved to be genuine, started by the people for the people with no ideology behind it, no religious agenda and no inciter or organizer and its members are people who came from every walk of life, young, old, women, men, educated, uneducated, children; people who have suffered loss of honor and dignity for almost three decades. 


    Criticism of 
    Muhammad ElBaradei and fear of the Muslim Brotherhood,

    I have called my sister in Egypt and asked her about what is being said about ElBaradei. She told me that he has been criticized on a couple of TV channels by university professors, and that their argument was based on the fact that he has been outside the country for a long time (suggesting that he no longer knows Egypt very well, that he received his education abroad and could have bee compromised and specifically prepared for this moment).

    The above is a total nonsense based on nothing but conjecturing. The man is well educated, has a very good reputation and hated by Israel (a credit in my eyes) and Israel's stooges. In addition he is not after the chair  and power (too old for that) in Egypt. He has not so far consipired or planned anything but made a few offers that can be accepted or rejected, and he is aware of that.

    ElBaradei seems to quiet and from outside he perhaps does not meet the profile requirements for leadership, but, in my opinion, and as a person to fill in the gap during the transitional period, he is far better than a military personnel or the criminal Omar Soleiman. 

    Someone told me that ElBaradei is loved by the American administration. I find this to be false. People can be deceived by the media style or customs where  whenever ElBaradei names pops up, his entitlements, achievements and qualifications are also mentioned in the same breath.


    Usual distortion 
    of words either intentionally or out of ignorance rooted, as I mentioned above,
    in repetition and parroting.  .
     
    words like: Islamist, fundamintalist, Jihadist, Islamism, and so on where a westerner understand them in a way different from how a Middle Easterner understand them.

    In conclusion, I heard some Israelis stating that they prefer no democracy in Egypt to the possibility that the Muslim brotherhood take over. Hence completely disregarding what the Egyptian nation want. Muslim brotherhood is also feared in the USA and Europe. If the West is interested in establishing democracy anywhere, they then should know what is good for the goose is also good for the gander. Hence if the Egyptian democratically elect the Muslim brother hood, then be it.
