…AND ONCE AGAIN, EGYPT!

AbdulFattah al sisi, we salute you. We all rise to congratulate and honour the magnificent man who has managed to maintain a moral code so profoundly. The moral code of Fir’awn (I mean) has been a long-standing tradition maintained and cultivated over the centuries to suit the needs of the wealthy and the advantaged alike. Sisi is the greatest ambassador of this tremendous art in our time.
Critics of Mubarak had long since acknowledged that he lacked the destructive, murderous nature of a true leader. Mubarak tried his best, but he just lacked a deep insight into the effective use of overwhelming force, violence and terror required when propagating a tyrannical, military dictatorship. The man killed too sparingly and subtly, like his heart wasn’t really into it and he was never quite able to join the murderers’ halls of fame. After 40 years of half-hearted oppression, Egypt needed a change.
It didn’t take long for Morsi to make it clear that he had no intention of stealing from the poor and giving to the rich, so obviously he was thrown out. Sisi on the other hand never had this problem, and unlike Mubarak he knew how to oppress like the best of them. In the space of just one year Sisi managed to give the Assad killing machine a run for its money, killing over a whopping three-thousand in less than four hours and throwing many more in jails. As a true student of Fir’awn, he has managed to emulate his Sunnah of tyranny with flawless devotion.
Popular support, the likes of which Obama and Cameron can only dream of, is no sweat for the soon-to-be-crowned grand dictator of Egypt. An overwhelming percentage of true Egyptians pledge their allegiance to the coup. Informative government polls tell us that a staggering 88 to 98% of true Egyptians pledge their unwavering support for Sisi, in fact only 1.9% oppose him. But don’t worry; the military assures us that these polls are accurate to a fraction of a percent…
So it’s true that the election results were yet to be published at the time of writing this article, but Sisi has left no doubt that he will eventually emerge victorious as the president of Egypt. How can anyone dispute Sisi’s right to rule when Anwar Sadat himself came to Sisi in a dream and told him he would be President, and when Husni Mubarak called him ‘Egypt’s hope’? Allāhu Akbar! Since when were silly little things like elections or ‘democracy’ an issue? Most feeble leaders may indeed be confined by such things, but not Sisi.
People have been voting since the January 2011 revolution but that didn’t make any difference, so why should the latest elections matter? If poor, foolish people in Egypt accidentally vote for someone else, Sisi will just have that person in the jail cell next to Morsi, and on death row in a jiffy. Elections in Egypt are really considered to be more of a ‘light suggestion’ as to who should be in power rather than a mandate. I don’t know why they even bothered appointing an ‘Interim President’ – what was his name again? From the first moment Sisi emerged in those cool sunglasses, I knew what was missing was a crown on his head.
The second article is titled “El-Sisi’s Mandate: Part One—Hell-bent Against Islām” is by Yasir Reda (at http://www.islam21c.com/politics/el-sisis-mandate-part-one-hell-bent-against-islam/):
It is ironic that when el-Sisi made a blunder in a speech saying “whoever does not please Allāh we will be with him, aiding and standing by him,” it turned out to be precisely the case. Following the ousting of President Morsi, analysts claimed that the real target was not the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), but that it was part of an agenda to marginalise Islām. This article will explore some of the evidence for these claims, the attitudes of some of the main instigators of the coup and give an indication of what life may entail under a Sisi presidency.
Following the 25th January 2011 Revolution, there was a perceived acceptance from at least two facets of Egyptian society, the liberals and the “Islamists” surrounding the rise of political Islām. This was supported by the sweeping victories made in the initial elections by the Muslim Brotherhood and “Salafist” Nour party.
Political Islām and more specifically the MB won five consecutive ballots: the March 2011 referendum, The People’s Assembly vote, elections for the Upper House of Parliament or the Shūrā Council, the historic Presidential Election and finally the referendum under Morsi’s presidency for the changes to the constitution. However since the betrayal of Morsi, the blood, honour and wealth of Muslims have become desecrated, as have the sacred months (Dhul-Qa’da, Dhul-Hijja, Muharram, and Rajab).
Corpses have been burnt and mass graves dug to bury evidence of the mass killings that took place on the 14th August last year. Mosques have been closed down and burnt to the ground, Islamic charities closed down and assets frozen with recipients told to go to the Church instead, and whilst Islamic channels have been shut down, liberal and Christian ones remain open.It appears that this is more than just a tribulation (Fitna), to which the opinion of pessimists (and some scholars) is to stay at home and abstain from taking sides in but indeed this has the hallmarks of being a battle between truth and falsehood.
Consider the statement made by Nabil Fahmy, the Foreign Minister, where he said: “The problem with Morsi was not about him being a good or bad president in terms of efficiency. If that was the case we would have waited the three or four years. The problem was that he wanted to change the political face of Egypt”. Later on in the interview, just to clear up any confusion he clarified, “Morsi was trying to lead the country towards an Islamist face and that was the problem.”
Couple this with the statement made on live television by senior judge, Ahmad al-Zind, appealing to Obama saying “Where are you? If you don’t know what is happening (i.e. the MB rule) then it is a disaster, and if indeed you know, then the disaster is even greater.” Thus, the motives behind this betrayal leave no room for doubt. Finally, ponder the comments made by the leaders of the Tamarod movement—the instigators of the grassroots movement to overthrow Morsi—who said: “Fascism began with the conquest of Makkah 1400 years ago…”
We need to be certain that the religion of Allāh will be victorious. Whether it is with or without us does not matter, what matters is that Islām triumphs. We must not lose sight of the fact that the outcomes are in the Hands of our Lord, our duty is to stay on the right path; certainly the real meaning of success is to remain on this path throughout our lives.
