many have wondered why my daily article stopped for four days, which hasn’t happened in decades. to those loved ones, and to those who questioned with beautiful silence, or smiled with gentle malice, i offer my sincere apologies, with a promise not to stop.
for decades, the brotherhood has enjoyed favor with our government, and the government allowed them to take over the reins of several ministries, and as a result, they wreaked havoc in these ministries.
the number of countries with an islamic majority is approximately fifty, and all of them know their capabilities and respect themselves. most of them also consider saudi arabia the leader of the sunni islamic world, and al-azhar its beacon, and some consider iran the defender or leader of the shiite sect.
as for religious extremism and those who embrace extremist religious organizations, there were several countries, arab and islamic, but almost all of them gave up their support for those organizations. perhaps kuwait remained the closest to them, and the most sympathetic to their demands, and there must be a secret.
i do not really want to know, but rather to spend the rest of my life living in my homeland, far from the control of those with extremist and destructive ideas. it is our right to have a normal life and coexist with the world through normal relations. we need to catch up and join our sisterly countries after recovery from the deep slumber we have suffered because of the muslim brotherhood.
tunisia imprisoned rashid ghannouchi, the head of the nahda movement, the muslim brotherhood branch, along with other leaders, on charges related to state security, closed the party’s headquarters, and confiscated its funds. these developments came after the party’s incitement against president qais saeed increased.
the government also accused the party, which ruled from 2011-2021, of sending around 6,000 young tunisians to fight in iraq and syria.
i tweeted in support of the decision to imprison ghannouchi and close the headquarters of the muslim brotherhood. tariq suwaidan responded to what i wrote, describing ghannouchi as one of the greatest leaders of the nation, cursing everyone who attacked him tweeted in support of the decision to imprison ghannouchi and close the headquarters of the muslim brotherhood. tariq suwaidan responded to what i wrote, describing ghannouchi as one of the greatest leaders of the nation, and cursing everyone who attacked him.
i responded to him with a tweet that was read by 100,000 people, that rashid ghannouchi visited saddam in our darkest days, and supported his invasion of kuwait, and he said in his speech at the khartoum conference, which was organized by hassan al turabi in the presence of 500 muslim brotherhood members, from 45 countries and organizations, and it is said that among them was bin laden and imad mughniyeh.
al ghannouchi said the interests of any country that attacks iraq will be devastated and the west will no longer exist in muslim nations in case iraq was attacked.
pointing to saddam husain, al ghannouchi said he is our friend as long as he confronts the enemies of islam. al ghannouchi added that the western forces will not leave our land by a resolution of the united nations or by some speeches.
he said they will leave only when the fire engulfs them from above, below the front, and behind. of course, neither al ghannouchi nor any others could do anything to prevent the liberation of kuwait.
the western forces left as per their own decision and not because of the fire from above or under. it is too sad to see a kuwaiti citizen, or that is how he is supposed to be, crying on the detention of al ghannouchi and addressing him as, “o’ great leader of the nation, you are not alone.” the issue is not about al-suwaidan. the issue is about the government which not only kept silent but also supported and empowered him and his colleagues.
