Not McCarthyism




Peace is an established lie
Justice is the philosophy of losers
There is no justice unless all powers are equal
Terrorism has no deterrent but force

Those were the words of the poet Aboul-Qasem esh-Shabbi… they jump to my mind whenever I see Jewish Zionists abusing the Palestinians… and whenever muslim Zionists of muslim brotherhood and their likes keep destroying our country, assassinating its identity and killing its sons..

Both sides are Zionists… because both are racist… both claim to have religious reference… both depend on violence and terrorism as a discipline and means to exist… and both aim at destroying our Arab nation and undermine all that is loving, just and peaceful.

One has no longer nerves to bear or accept any means to deal with those Zionist muslim brotherhood and all their likes but with severe punishment on all levels; economic, social and cultural… and that’s why – before the assassination of the honored judge counselor Hesham Barakat – I have been into fierce debates with those who came up with the idea of postponing executing court verdicts against terrorists… I also stood against those who believe that dialogue and accepting the other include living with racist Zionist muslim brotherhood and their likes… atop of them, those who undermine citizenship in Egypt and describe the Egyptian Christian citizens of being atheists who will dwell in hell!

It’s normal that one may think, in the most intense moments of anger, of widening confrontation domain by forming public groups of resistance that can have licensed arms to protect electricity towers, stations, bridges, railways and state institutions… also headquarters of ruling regime and top officials… it’s what all societies do in war.

In this regard, I remember a funny story that reveals to what extent the feeling of resistance and protecting the nation can help stand against anything that may threaten its safety… it’s a true story that took place after the defeat of 1967 when my friend, the elite media man Mr. Abdel-Wahhab Qattaya received an assignment from Sawt El-Arab radio station to follow and record the positive reactions of the public after the defeat.

And so he went to al-Hussain square with the recording device… those devices were not common among people at that time… and once he started talking to ask people about their opinions, the public saw the strange device they never saw before… and someone shouted: “a spy”… then all who were in the square gathered around the man and started attacking him while he was yelling and shouting declaring his identity as a radio announcer and his assignment to record their opinions… but it was in vain… until he shouted: “here is my ID card…my name is Abdel-Wahhab Qattaya… have you ever heard of a Jewish man called Qattaya?”

What I want to say here is that the more we are aware of the danger surrounding us, the more likely the ordinary citizen can become a brick in a line of those who build bulwarks… such security, cultural and civilization bulwarks that stand against those who want to erase our identity.

Now, they will say… “this is hate and incitation speech… it’s a call for an Egyptian McCarthyism like that of America”… to the end of that already-known speech… and I say… Yes… I hate violence… I hate killing… I hate destruction and erasing our country’s cultural and civilized identity… and… Yes, I incite and stand against all who practice violence and killing and target our national unity to destroy.

That’s what all normal people did in the societies that sought progress and development… that happened in the western democracies against Nazism, Fascism and racial discrimination… it happened in all divine religions as well and was mentioned in the core of its doctrines… like I once said in a previous article when prophet Jesus talked about the wicked snake-like priests who claim to have guardianship over religion… and when Quran mentioned the hypocrites, double-faced and their likes who make fun of God’s verses; killing, violence and destruction in the name of Islam is nothing but making fun of God’s verses in the worst way.

Here I want to confirm that total confrontation with terrorism shall include exerting real practical efforts to take care of the martyrs’ families; meaning the bereaved mothers, widowed wives and orphaned children… not only financially – which is an important side – but also psychologically and morally… since tens of those orphaned children; sons of the martyrs, are at ages that cannot help them deal with that shock… the shock of losing the father and the horrendous act behind this loss… and the effect of that on the mother and the rest of the family… all that requires all institutions working in the psychological and social care to take part in this… they should start by paying home visits to those mothers, grandmothers, grandfathers, the rest of the family and children themselves to provide them with all that can guarantee qualifying, building and strengthening their personalities to continue their lives in a healthy way.

In this regard, I’d like to thank all who communicated with the initiative which I launched here in this space before and those who submitted their financial support… I also thank my friend Mr. Muhammed Abdel-Hadi Allam, the editing chief, and my colleague Mr. Ahmed el-Berri, the editing director and responsible of Al Ahram newspaper’s mail who adopted the initiative and opened an account to receive the contributions.

However, all this is not enough as I said before… and so I call to develop this initiative in two directions… the first is the psychological care which my friend Mr. Muhammed Abdel-A’al Eissa brought my attention to in his comment on Facebook… and the second is providing all the medical care needed… in this regard, I have already started contacting a bunch of the best and most efficient professors in surgery, cardiology, gynecology and pediatrics to treat those terrorism victims in their clinics and hospitals for free… also, Al Ahram newspaper’s mail can provide the family of the martyr with a letter declaring their state to the destined doctor.

Our resistance action bulwark shall have many lines to grow higher and higher and stand solid in the face of those who threatens our civilization, culture, society and security… and so the citizen has to be aware of the danger, its sources and parties to guarantee his participation in the security side…

Like what happened after 1967… we all remember how criminal acts almost disappeared in certain times… those times were when people felt they are part of this nation… they are all in one… and they are all in danger.
