I have noticed attempts by those who are “fond of the
Brotherhood” to curb the Saudi momentum towards the Brotherhood and its
branches, both the public and secret ones, and aren’t they many!
This attempt aims to benefit from the loud fuss against
Saudi Arabia due to the campaign using the Jamal Khashoggi case. The last thing
they care about is attaining the criminal judicial truth as all they want is to
employ the case “for needs in the soul of Jacob.”
A Jacob here or Jacobs! They want to obstruct the Saudi
prowess in combating the Brotherhood, the most dangerous international
“network” in the world and they’re doing so via the approach of: “Enough you
people, enough talk about the Brotherhood. We have exaggerated this a bit or
too much!”
Reality is opposite of that as we – and we’ve talked about
this problem here for years – have plenty to say about the Brotherhood’s threat
and this is good; however, a few work on establishing real and permanent
awareness regarding the Brotherhood’s culture and ideology, which means the
prevalence of how many over how to.
Ongoing war
Anyway, the Saudi Crown Prince, the architect of the Saudi
vision and the leader of the war against extremism, said at the Future
Investment Initiative conference in Riyadh in his first statement following the
vehement media campaign against Saudi Arabia after the Khashoggi problem that
the war against extremism is ongoing. His words were clear. Of course, the
Brotherhood is the first womb of extremism, via deceit at times, soft talk and
gibberish about freedoms at other times or via frank and rough remarks when the
time is suitable.
The time was actually appropriate during the wakefulness of
the secret Brotherhood dream during the season of chaos or the Brotherhood
Spring that lasted from December 2010 until the dream ended in 2014.
Let’s recall some of it. In July 2012, Hamas Brotherhood
official “Sheikh” Ismail Haniyeh could not control his emotions and spoke in Gaza
during a Friday sermon saying: “The Brotherhood’s accession of power in Egypt
and Tunisia is the beginning of the Islamic caliphate.”
On November 13, 2011, at a ceremony for Ennahda Movement in
Sousse, Tunisian Ennahda official Hamadi Jebali hailed the beginning of “sixth
caliphate.” In that same year, Yemeni Brotherhood official Abdul Majeed
al-Zindani told crowds in Sanaa that he sees the morning of the Islamic
caliphate rising from every place in the Islamic world, adding that Mursi’s
accession to power was a sign of the caliphate.
Confronting the Brotherhood
Truth is, Saudi Arabia’s journey in confronting the
Brotherhood is not something of this current era but of the era of King
Abdullah as on March 7, 2014, the Saudi commission issued its famous list that
was based on the former royal order of late King Abdullah and categorized
certain parties as terrorist, and the Muslim Brotherhood was at the forefront.
Is it possible to say: “Enough talk and work on confronting
unemployment, corruption and pollution! That’s enough, you’ve annoyed us!?”
It’s the same thing as the same determination and same continuity must be
adopted when it comes to protecting people from the Brotherhood’s ideological
and psychological malaise.
A final word: Confronting the Brotherhood, in terms of its
culture, politics and upbringing, is not an occasional matter or a tactical
political move but it’s the “philosophy” of a permanent and new life.
