The Hard Path

I still remember how happy I was at the time of President Sadat assassination.  I was one of millions of Egyptians who felt the need to end the existing regime at that time.
I recall the great satisfaction felt by people to see the newly appointed president who seemed more pure, honest and closer to the feelings of the masses from his predecessor.
A picture that is far from the imagination of anyone who would predict what will happen next.

Obviously, the last thirty years were enough to raise this hidden desire to reverse the wheel of history, and wished the demise of Sadat assassination.
 It is astounding that the criminals convicted in the assassination themselves acknowledged regret for this act, which led to Hosni Mubarak to come to power. Meanwhile, others began to stir in the rumors about Mubarak's involvement in the assassination himself.
Hearsay I can assure you from now it is not true and lacked from any possibility of authenticity. Not due to a lack of reality in it, or the impossibility of assuming it occur. But I believe it is due to the personality of Hosni Mubarak himself.
This man who spent thirty years on the seat of President of Egypt without taking even a single decision that may suggesting any suspicion of taking adventure, cannot participate in such plot.
This man, who has never caught thinking in a creativity or imagination way, cannot be involved in such action, which if true would have been one of the verses of the imagination and creativity.
This man, who preferred to hoard money and superior interests of his small family above everything else, would never take part in an assassination, where the target was sitting on the seat adjacent to him.

Mr. Jihad Al Khazen wrote in “Hayyat” Newspaper during the Egyptian revolution, fearing what will happen next, and his argument is that over the past fifty or sixty years, when he seemed to be optimistic of any change in the Arab world, things have always ended up worse than how it was!

But was the situation during the reign of Sadat's better in fact than how it was during the rule of Mubarak?
In my opinion, that this is not true. Mubarak is the natural and logical extension of the ruling way of Anwar Sadat.
What should we all agreed upon, is the need to change the whole system and replace it with an integrated one based on the institutional foundations of a modern civil state, and the devolution of power in accordance with the peaceful struggle of ideas across partisan and social institutions to ensure full representation of all the visions and ideas in society.
This is what we should seek to achieve without putting great importance to the persons or their names, but to the tendencies and interests they represent.
Everyone should understand that we are not nor should we be about to change the faces and names.
People wanted to overthrow the regime, and this is the real test to prove the success of their revolution. This success requires building the foundations of new systems and methods that are totally different from the Egyptian Republic of 1954.

It was clear recently the desire of the leaders of “Muslim Brotherhood” in kidnapping the Egyptian revolution. As usual, these leaders stood against all forces and groups that actually organized and inspired it.
Moreover, news leaking from the group itself talking about confidentiality agreements held with Omar Suleiman, ex vice President and Hosni Mubarak loyal man to maneuver around the demands of the revolution against the gains of self-utilitarian.
Not to mention the bickering and counterfeiting and falsification of facts, during the recently held referendum, in the framework of an unholy alliance between them and the Salafi groups, waves coming to us through the deserts of Arabian Peninsula.
Practices expected to be replicated strongly in any coming elections.

And in the name of freedom, here they are enemies of freedom and those who shed bloods of the members of “gihad” and the “Islamic Group” talking about new parties and candidates for coming Parliament.

It is naive to believe that revolution means you cannot attack any groups that were persecuted by the former regime. This logic is not realistic, but given moral cover to the West claims that the intimidation and persecution of Jews by the Nazis, means the Zionists are exempt from any criticism for their criminal behavior.

It is true that justice and the rule of legal rules, is the basis of any civilization, but suffering from the persecution does not confer - in itself - the legality of any ideas or political theories.

So to believe that we should not attack the "Muslim Brotherhood" group, or those who call themselves Salafists or the terrorist groups and murders of "Gihad" or "Islamic Group", is a belief that goes against logic, plausibility and truth together.
Those who are deceiving people deluding they represent the will of God and religion on earth, are trying to falsify the will of those people.
And those who have committed criminal acts and terrorized innocent people for decades, cannot claim being part of the political process and its partisans activity.

Anybody study modern Egyptian history in the twentieth century and until now, easily discover that there are two groups that have been persecuted in a systematic and organized way by all the regimes during this period: The Communists groups and the “Muslim Brotherhood” and radical Islamic groups in general.
It is ironic that the regimes of governance which was based on the ideas and philosophies of these two groups in all parts of the world, is the most repressive, closed, and corrupted ones. 

The Egyptian revolution is not facing the remnants of the former regime and fighting a fierce battle against the counter-revolution only, but is also fighting another battle in the face of the dark forces that want to falsify the will of millions of people in the name of religion.

I have been disturbed by Mr. Jihad Khazen saying, that I wished it will be reversed this time. I wish Egyptian revolution would change the face of the country and the entire region to the prospects for freedom, dignity and pride.
Until then everyone should have a clear insight how to lead this revolution through a risky path that is full of difficulties, obstacles and enemies who are shrouding it from each side.
