I write about
this issue for the second time in an attempt to know when, how and where has
this one called Yasser Hussain Mahmoud Burhami Hashish managed to blackmail the
interior ministry, government, regime or the state?... since all what he says
in public entails liability, accountability and punishment… supposing that we
live in a state that respects the constitution and applies the law.
I do not
believe that the current regime needs a cover that claims to be religious
instead of the moral cover; the one based on values of citizenship and Egyptian
cultural civilization structures that date back to the dawn of history… through
ancient Egypt since the first dynasty… then the Hellenistic period… Christian…
Islamic… and then to the modern and contemporary era… since some political
regimes need a cover claiming to represent the religious reference because such
regimes adopt a negative stance towards values of citizenship and cultural
civilization structures in general.
And so I seriously
ask: when, how and where has Burhami; vice-chief of the salafist Call, managed
to blackmail the ruling regime institutions… to the extent that he recently
gives sermons in mosques for a reason I believe is very ridiculous and funny…
that is he was able to succeed in an exam set by the ministry of endowments… I do
not know if this exam included a question asking: what is your opinion of the one
who accuses an Egyptian citizen or group of misconduct, aggression, wrongfulness
and infidelity without a judicial verdict stating that?... and does this one
who considers himself a preacher to the way of God have the right to give such
verdicts on the Christian Egyptian citizens?
All institutions
in charge have already known what any Egyptian citizen following what is
published and broadcasted on the internet knows… when Burhami was asked about
how the Muslim husband should treat his Christian wife and his answer was extremely
outrageous and appalling.
Neither
Al-Azhar nor the ministry of endowments issued a reply to such answer… nor the public
prosecution or the ministry of endowment punished him… only people like me
reacted to what he said…and it looked like a words fight with a man who incites
to hatred, contempt, loathing, destroying family relations and violating all
that is human and decent.
The same thing
happens again… not only on the hands of Burhami… but by another one adopting
the same salafist ideology called Yahia Refa’ei Sorour who said in public about
the martyred Egyptian citizens slaughtered in Libya: “they are sheep… 21
Christian sheep whose blood is cheap… they are not partners to us in this
country… and we feel offended as the Christian Egyptians stayed safe in Egypt
after the coup”.
As to Yasser
Burhami, he described the Egyptian Christian citizens in public – as recorded
in audio and video – as: “they are an infidel wrongful aggressive criminal
minority that abuses the right of the majority… we call our brother Christians
atheists… yes, they are our brothers in the country… but they are atheists if
they keep believing in their religion and so they will go to hell…”. Then
Burhami describes all who disagree to his opinions as “they are hypocrites and
atheists”… meaning that all persons and entities that disagree to Yasser
Hussain Mahmoud Burhami Hashish are atheist hypocrites!
After all
this, Yasser Burhami and leaders of the salafist Call like Muhammed Ismail
al-Mokadem, Muhammed Abdel-Fattah Abu Idris, Abdel-Mone’im esh-Shahat and
others remain in the forefront of the religious Dawaa… they also have a
political party that takes place in elections… and they may achieve the first,
second or third majority in the coming parliament!
Again, I repeat
the question: when, how and where have Burhami and his likes managed to
blackmail the state institutions?... I wish we can know the answer to this
question so that we too stay silent to what they say.
I searched
quickly about the roots of the phenomenon of the salafist Call in Alexandria
and went through some excerpts from references… I knew they are all influenced
by, actually committed to the opinions of Ibn Taymmiya, Ibn el-Qayem, Muhammed
Abdel-Wahhab and in particular al-Albani… I have already discussed some of Ibn
Taymmiya’s Fatwas about the Christians in particular and the others who
do not believe in Islam in general… such Fatwas contained what is really
defaming Islam and humanity as well.
I want to know
the opinions and Fatwas of al-Albani because all those I met and who
adopt Burhami and al-Howeini’s ideology whenever you ask them about something,
they immediately say: al-Albani said… as if this al-Albani is the first and
last to them. His full name is Muhammed Ibn al-Hajj Nouh Ibn Nagati Ibn Adam
al-Ashqouri al-Albani al-Arna’outi or the Arnaut nicknamed as “Abu Abdel-Rahman”.
He was born in 1914 in Ashqoudra; the old capital of Albania and died in 1999. His
father left Albania while he was one of the biggest scholars of Hanafi Mazhab
or doctrine. His father immigrated to Damascus along with his son. The reason
behind his immigration was that he disagreed to the King of Albania Ahmed Zogho
after the latter prohibited women from wearing Niqab!
Dear reader…
you can go through the books of al-Albani and Burhami Hashish… and along with
them the chief of the Alexandrian salafist Call; Muhammed Abdel-Fattah Abu
Idris… in general, you will find that these books are nothing but annotations
explaining the Mutoons[1]
of Ibn Hanbal, Ibn Taymmiya and Muhammed Abdel-Wahhab… not a single book of
those can be described as a genuine one based on well-established bases and produces
something new that helps achieve the nation’s interests.
One cannot have
discussions based on logic and comprehensive aware Fiqhi and scientific
evidence with such people… a wise man cannot waste his time arguing with those
who have no human feelings in dealing with people and guiding them with wise
and kind words.
The only possible
thing to do is that state institutions, ruled by the constitution and law,
shall react to such outrageous behaviour… especially that we are in a very
critical situation as we are fighting on five fronts; east, west, north, south and
in depth… the state institutions shall stop these people and punish them as per
the law for what they do against the nation and citizens.
Here I ask the
minister of endowments and I know he is a man who knows his role and can do
anything to keep Egypt’s mosques away from fanaticism and ignorance… how could
Burhami and his likes who adopt such declared opinion of describing the
Christians as atheists and considering them an infidel wrongful aggressive
criminal minority who should go to hell… how could they manage to deliver
sermons in mosques?
Not only this…
moreover, they consider all who disagree to the salafists’ opinion about
Christians an atheist wrongful… meaning all of us starting from the president
to the least citizen like me… for God sake, how don’t the lawyers and public
prosecution do something to stop such crime and prosecute those people in
public?
How can we
stay silent and stand still before those who provide the complete theoretical referencing
for what Daesh and its likes do… since the completion of what Burhami and his
likes say is the question asking: “now what should we do with those who are
atheist, aggressive, criminal and wrongful… and also those hypocrite atheists
who disagree to us?”
Won’t the
answer be what Daesh does in reality of burning people alive and slaughtering
humans?
For the tenth
time I ask: when, how and where have Burhami and the salafists managed to
blackmail the state institutions in Egypt?
