In no way can we escape the truth of the reviews presented by the Egyptian “Islamic Group” when its members were in prison against the backdrop of accusations of the assassination of President Anwar Sadat in 1981. What was presented as intellectual reviews was a cunning game invented by the Islamic Group to obtain a deal with the political authority to ease… Sanctions, which is what actually happened when hundreds of them were released. Those released went to Afghanistan, where a proxy war was taking place between the West and the Soviet Union, in which Islamic movements preferred to play the role of firewood in the fire of war.
The deception that the Islamic Group got away with remained, and it seems that it will remain so for a long time, the ideal way for the Islamists to evade their sins. The “Brotherhood” group repeated it in most of its branches after it was brought down by the June 30, 2013 revolution in Egypt, which prompted the group’s branches to submit revisions that attempted to absorb the Arab political systems. It has been proven with conclusive evidence that all the branches of the “Brotherhood” group, which presented what they call intellectual reviews, have not abandoned their ideas, several turning points confirmed that the deception was not the “Hamas” attack on October 7, 2023, except for one of them in which the group’s rules repeated their speech. Traditional and its original invitations.
The problem is very deep and requires an understanding of the mentality in which Islamists think. These people have their own religious justifications that they know how to employ for this purpose. Taqiyyah and others are used to pass them into deception every time. They even allow themselves individual escape, as Hassan al-Banna did when he raised the slogan: “They are not brothers and they are not “Muslims”, which is one of the most important references that the group uses on two counts, as it legitimizes the killing of everyone who does not belong to the group, and also from this slogan it abandons the crimes and legal issues that haunt its members. Over the decades, Islamic movements have woven a fabric around themselves that has been absorbed by the people as well as the political regimes. It is a barrier around the sanctity of people and ideas that represents the most important line of defense. It is the one that no one has been able to break, and the group and its members have always remained protected. The only time that is considered isolated was in the trials of Muhammad Hassan and Muhammad Hussein Yaqoub. It was broadcast on Egyptian television and was practically a bold attempt to break the barrier. The exposure that the public trials showed of the ideology of the groups involved does not negate the need for more than repeating it, with the necessity of the media system working to refute all the fallacies that are being circulated, as there are peoples who have received a populist culture that is poisonous to them. To process what it has received over the decades.
One of the most important things that the Arab national state must do is to impose maximum judicial sentences on members of radical groups. Experiences alone guide us to this. Counseling and light punishments that continued to take into account classical fears did not succeed. This is more important in considering that the death sentence was imposed on Nimr al-Nimr in Saudi Arabia. The year 2016 marked the end of his chaotic and inflammatory calls. This reinforces the push for the state to be more forceful in confronting members of Islamist groups. Only the most severe punishments will put a complete end to it, so that individuals from these communities will not join these groups.
The cunning people are accustomed to denying even their ideas, as some of them present, considering that what they offered as an apology was enough to reproduce themselves and their ideas in different forms, and here it must be reminded again and again that the most important thing that the national state must do is protect its citizens. This is what requires deterrence, meaning that there is no room for failure to enforce harsher penalties in order to deter these groups, and with them provide security and stability for societies. Deception and deception are among the characteristics inherent to “Islamists.” Their reviews are a lie, and their apologies for their sins are an evasion of the crimes they committed. Societies do not deserve to be wasted. From its time of trying the tried and tested… Rule them and you will succeed and your countries will succeed.
