In a previous statement to you, you said that Egypt’s civilized genes brought down the Muslim Brotherhood quickly.. Would you like an explanation for that?
Genetic traits in any society are continuous and do not disappear, but the trait may appear at a specific moment, and in my opinion, what Egypt did to get out from under religious rule in the year 2013 must have a genetic trait behind it, which is that the Egyptian society did not accept this approach. The political idea behind the religious rule was that the woman’s veil is evidence of her religiosity, but the fact of the matter is that those who went out on June 30 included veiled women as well, so the issue of dress, beard, robes and veil is mainly a political issue, not a religious one.
She described the January revolution as the greatest revolution in the history of Egypt, then confirmed that it is an intelligence game and that the Arab Spring aims to dismantle the Arab world, so what is your explanation?
This is true, for the first three days of the January revolution were an unprecedented revolution in Egypt, because it included a gathering of young people seeking dignity, pride, respect and change. And I still consider the January Revolution a respectable revolution, but I would like to say that I, with my political, ideological and cognitive makeup, do not like revolutions, because revolution is a departure from legitimacy, because when people are closed before them by the legal frameworks for change, they resort to revolutions, and all revolutions begin and end with demolition, so if any ruling regime Yesterday, today, or tomorrow, he closed the paths of peaceful change within the legal framework, as he exposes himself to revolutions, coups, or assassinations.
Thought can only be confronted with thought.. There is a clash between the state and the Muslim Brotherhood since it fell from power, to the extent that it used fourth-generation wars to spread its ideas, poisons, and political tricks.. Is the security confrontation enough with this group?
Education, knowledge, culture, and media. Security confrontation alone is not enough, and there must be an intellectual, cultural, and enlightening confrontation. Security confrontations over the years have succeeded and failed. We see that those at the forefront of the scene are clerics and Salafis who forbid and grant heaven and hell to whomever they want, and all of this is the conscience of my predecessors, and when the state tackles development, it is not right for it to address development in the same language as the Salafis. Yes, everyone will be held accountable, but whoever is responsible is held accountable by parliament or the media. The idea of not recognizing that the authorities are the ones who hold each other accountable brings us into a Salafist framework. There is no objection that God will hold us all accountable. Building a hospital, roads, or making a political decision, the citizen is the one who holds the responsible accountable, so the idea of returning accountability only to God Almighty is a Salafi idea, exactly like the days of the 73 war. Instead of praising the greatness of preparation, organization, and victory, they say that the angels came down to fight, why I mean that there are those who fought instead of us, I mean that there are officials in the authority who sometimes speak the same language as the Brotherhood and the Salafis, and their language must be changed, so if we have a company that loses, will the board of directors or the general assembly be held accountable, then the board of directors must be held accountable, but here the matter is wrong If the official loses, the wrong people are held accountable, and here the people are like the general assembly, the people are the ones who hold the official accountable and change him, but the governments do not hold the people accountable, as they choose representatives to hold the officials accountable, and here the value of choice and free elections appears in the local councils that do not exist, and in the non-existent decentralized administration, and in Parliament, which we know very well that it represents the executive authority, the account here has become non-existent, and from here the official plays on the religious conscience that God will hold him accountable, but we want the responsible parliament to be held accountable and change it as a government when it
