Conspirators Succeed, Morsi Dethroned by Military Coup

(Is the time of salvation and success still far away? Has the stage of acceptence of the supplications of thousands of wronged and oppressed Ikhwanis for deliverance from almost 75 years of sufferings and ordeals still not come? Who is there in the Muslim World offering more sacrifices of lives, honors and properties than Muslim Brotherhood for the Noble Cause of Islam in the Muslim history of the recent past? Which of the political and religious parties through out the Muslim World has avowal of the loss of careers and bright future of their highly talented workers higher than this organization founded by Imam Hasan A-.Banna? Who had been the biggest victim of the military rules except Muslim Brotherhood?

After about 60 years of tyrant and heavy handed despotic rules, when the clamped down Egyptian people were sighing for an openness, longing for their rights and waiting for a democratic atmosphere, there came for them an opportunity to show their free will whom they wanted as their first democratically elected president. They must had shown their respect for Ikhwan because they were the people who had been, for a long time, inundating the land of revolution for good with their blood; yes for the freedoms, justice, for the recovery of usurped human rights; for an honourable life not only for themselves but for whole of the Egyptian nation; for the coming generation.

After Mubarak got deposed Muslim Brotherhood, at first did not want to land its candidate in presidential election.
But very soon it was smelt that some powers within and out of Egypt with their evil designs wanted not the dreams of the Egyptian people's for change come true. There were clear hints that principal beneficiaries of the ousted ruler were determined to uphold the stinking old system. Supreme Command of Armed Forces appointed by Hosni Mubarak and having their loyalties with him was in full command at their posts. 

A large ring of, as alleged in reports, around three million people from almost every class of the society, closely linked with Mubarak, was a dirty pond of corruption. From the top posts to house servants, including cooks, gardeners and drivers of the presidential palace were part of it. Even mimics and buffoons who had job to amuse the old man played their part as liaison between the president, his family and his cronoes. They had their shares in corruption game. The creature from show-biz was naturally against Ikhwan. Most of the TV channels and renowned columnists and journalists had their own hateful role in anti-Ikhwan campaign. 

Corrupt bureaucracy was entrenched as usual. Rusted administrative machinery was at its place enough to fail the revolution. Muhammad Shafique, the last prime minister before fall of Mubarak had come in the field to fight for presidential post. Another contender, Al Baradai was choice of of the Western powers. Amr Musa, former head of the Arab League had his secret meetings with Israel's opposition leader TZipi Livani assuring her of keeping the Israeli interests in sight if elected. For the Western power all the three were fit for their objectives. So in one way or the other all the three opponents of Morsi enjoyed support of not only Israel and Western Powers but very interestingly conservative minded leadership of the Arab States around also wanted not the Islamists to come in power. Arab media continuously remained spiteful and malicious towards Ikhwan and Morsi.

Though odd situation seemed not so favourable yet Muslim Brotherhood decided to field its candidate. At first Kheirat Al-Shater, its Deputy Head entered the arena, but he was declared disqualified. After it was going too late for the campaign, Dr. Muhammad Morsi was fielded to contest the election for the top most post. In spite of all odds he won and rose as the first elected president of Egypt after past 60 years of its history. It was difficult for the leftists, secularists and also different powerful mafias to digest an Islamic figure in the presidential palace. A large number of misguided and leaderless liberal minded youths, not ideologically and morally trained but edified only by social media were another element very easy to get used for creating trouble and demonstrations.

Muslim Brotherhood paid enormous price of its commitment to its Faith and ideology for last six decades. Thousands of its activists had been subject to the brutalities of tyrant rules of Naser, Sadat and Mubarak. Hundereds were there whose corpse came from the jails where they had succumbed to ferocious torture. A great number of its first and second line leadership, its intellectuals and scholars suffered the terrible consequences of taking their lines different from that of the cruel rulers of the past. 


And now when a new sun of change had risen and 'Arab Spring' has become the metaphorical expression for a free, just and democratic social and political system, hooliganism was made tool for removing an elected president from his post. Egyptian top military commander and defense miniter had his secret meeting with Chuck Hagel only a week ago and all was decided there. In past Muslim Brotherhood was open prone of the ruthlessness of the authoritative rule and now it is exposed to rowdiness and gundaism of the political rivals. Muslim Brotherhood's Headquarters and house of its leader Kheirat Al-Shater has become the target of ransacking, looting and torching. Morsi is under siege. Conspirators succeed, dark forces have become winners. Alas! Al-Azhar, the renowned religious seat of the Sunni Muslims delayed not in endorsing the miliray coup. 

Al-Azhar has the same history regarding Muslim Brotherhood. Before putting his brutal hand on Ikhwan around 1965, Naser administration had hammered out a false story that Ikhwan had hatched a plan of assassinating Jamal Abdul Naser. As a pretext Islamic Affair Ministry had added a 150 pages suplement to religious magazine 'Member Al-Islam' for free distribution. Its opening article was written by Sheikh Hasan Mamun, then head of Al-Azhar. The readers of this writing should not be surprised that the heading of that article was: رأى الدين فى اخوان الشيطانز It is awful history of Al-Azhar. Munir Ahmed Khalili)

A number of thugs accompanied by Tamarod (Rebel) mobs set fire to the Muslim Brotherhood’s entire main office building and headquarters in Mokattam (Cairo), destroying all its contents, after a 16-hour siege, and after looting everything movable, including electrical appliances and electronic devices.
Thugs stole even chairs, cushions and all that can be carried off the premises, including all papers and documents at the headquarters.
In a press statement, Dr. Ahmed Arif, Muslim Brotherhood media spokesman, said: "Thugs surrounded the Muslim Brotherhood main office building, on Monday morning, and blew up gas cylinders at the building’s front doors, which led to a fire on the first floor of the building, which consists of three floors, in complete absence of security forces.
"Some thugs lay siege to the Brotherhood’s main office building throughout the night, and fired live bullets using automatic weapons as well as Molotov firebombs at the windows, and blew up gas cylinders, with several people inside getting injured, and bled inside the headquarters, while thugs prevented ambulances from reaching them."
Dr. Aref added, "Police failed to show up, despite many repeated calls and appeals by employees trapped in the building throughout the night, with increasing fears of further casualties as a result of the siege and ferocious attacks on the building, although it is the police’s duty to protect public and private property from such violence and vandalism.
"I call on all parties to carry out their duties and responsibilities according to the law and the Constitution with regard to this attack and the deteriorating situation in the vicinity of the Muslim Brotherhood’s main office and headquarters."
Earlier on, before the main office in Mokattam was stormed, ransacked and torched by dozens of thugs, the Muslim Brotherhood had pleaded with security authorities to move quickly to stop the siege imposed by thugs around the building, and to give ambulances access to the scene in order to rescue people inside.
