Here is some plain speaking: In the fight between right and wrong, and between truth and falsehood, and between justice and injustice, and between good and evil, to claim to be neutral is to lock arms with wrong, and with falsehood and with injustice and evil.

How clear and simple and straightforward it is!

It is to be a vicious champion of evil against good. George Bush once said it nicely: If you are not with us, you are against us.

When it comes to Egypt today, the question is not whether you are with Islam or not, the question really is whether you are a supporter of democracy or dictatorship. […]

Pharaoh vs. Moses in the Land of Egypt

Egypt is no ordinary place. It is the land where tyranny runs deep and Pharaohs claim to be God.

And yet, paradoxically, Egypt also is the place from where the clarion cry of freedom rang out when Moses (May God Bless Him!) demanded from Pharaoh: Let My People Go!

Or, as the Qur’an put it: Arsil ma’iya banee Israa-eel.

After thousands of years, that same timeless drama of Right vs. Wrong is being played out again. And this time, it is between a modern-day Moses in the person of Ikhwan’s candidate for President, Dr. Muhammad Morsi, and the forces of tyranny and corruption embodied in the Military regime of Mubarak and others. […]

Those who love freedom and democracy for Egypt and the Great Egyptian People – and for all the other peoples, nations and societies of this world – must show that love by maybe fasting and praying and begging God for help.

They may fast one or more of these four days – this coming Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday – May 21-24, 2012.

And they must pray and beg God Almighty to grant victory to the Ikhwan and to Dr. Morsi in Egyptian elections for President, slated for 23 & 24 (Wednesday & Thursday) of this month of May, 2012.

They may even want to do what is called a Qiyaamul Layil – spend the entire night performing prayers and begging Allah for help – either on Monday night; or on Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday night. […]

What is going on Egypt is heartbreaking. The dream of democracy in Egypt so near and yet so far!

And, as usual, the world is in crisis – one more time.

The world is in crisis due every bit to its own doings – a sum total of its omissions and commissions, all the things it did and failed to do. A fruit in the making if you will of what the world’s own hands have wrought, as they used to say.

Or Bimaa kasabat ayidinnas, as the Qur’an phrased it in its own immortal and timeless words.

Egypt today is a serious challenge to the entire world.

The question is will the world support Egyptian struggle for freedom or will it sit back and watch as Democracy in Egypt is crushed, elections are stolen and the Great Egyptian People are massacred with impunity? […]

Egypt’s military is at it again: finding new ways to crush the People of Egypt under its boots.

The military first stole power from the People of Egypt in 1952. It then set about methodically destroying Egypt, brick by brick, killing some of the best and brightest of its sons and torturing and disenfranchising others.

And by bringing a once-mighty-and-proud nation to the brink of social, military, political and economic ruin.

And then all of a sudden it was 2011. And Egyptians of all stripes came together to force Mubarak, an air force general, to relinquish power after a most brutal dictatorship of 30 long years.

This unexpected outcome was heralded as a revolution. And in many ways it was.

But the irony was that General Mubarak was replaced by General Tantawi – no, make it Field Marshal Tantawi – once again, as the absolute master of the destiny of the Egyptian people.

And who is this Tantawi who holds a military title, Field Marshal, that no other officer in the whole world does? He was Mubarak’s most loyal and devoted defense minister for 20 out of 30 years of Mubarak’s despotic, corrupt and brutal rule. […]

There is still a strong possibility that Egypt’s Ruling Generals, Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) as they call themselves, and their Colonial paymasters will find a way to scuttle the Egyptian Revolution by rounding up the “Usual Suspects.”

Should they decide to do that, they will select from a litany of lies available to them to explain and justify their traitorous misdeeds.

Otherwise, how does anyone with half a brain explain the fact that SCAF wants to wield a Veto Power on nationally elected civilian government?

In any civilized society that would be reason for arresting and trying those military officers for high treason. But in post-Mubarak Egypt, run by Mubarak’s most loyal Defense Minister of 20 years, it is business as usual.

Evidently, that is a cheap lesson SCAF learned from the Manual the Turkish Military seems to have successfully used for nearly a century to subjugate the Turkish People to one of the worst tyrannies in modern history.

But that depends on how the Generals in Egypt read the public mind, whether or not the Egyptian People will roll over and play dead – like they did for nearly 100 years.

But, evidently, the Generals seem to sense – and their Colonial Masters no doubt advised them to that effect – the Gini of a Free Egyptian People is not likely to be corralled back into the Bottle any time soon. […]
