November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

Can the Egyptian Revolution at all be called a "revolution," or has it been closer to an intense but mere civil disobedience?

In the post-revolution stages, there is plenty of wishful thinking yet the Egyptian people do not have a clue on how to accomplish their numerous goals. Some are supporting secularism, some are showing dreadful signs of being vigorously brainwashed by Western propaganda, none of them are pushed about US interference in Egyptian affairs, and none are able to read the reasons why the US is adamant to control Egypt. As if all of this isn't bad enough, there are also rumors that the military is still protecting Mubarak. What a big bundle of mess!

The Egyptian people are striving for improvement with plenty of sincerity. But they are not savvy which is proving to be catastrophic. They still haven't been able to grasp the difference between a change of regime and a change of face. Amr Moussa's ambitions for running as president puts no questions in their minds despite Moussa's press statement mentioning "the qualities required to be the president of Egypt also apply to Gamal Mubarak." And Amr Moussa made that statement despite the frequent chantings of the Egyptian people at Tahrir Square yelling "Gamal, tell your father that Egyptians hate you."

Tunisia was the epicenter of all the uprisings that followed in the Arab world.  Tunisians, who have been monitoring the events in Egypt carefully, aren't happy with the way things are moving in Egypt.
 
Quoting 'Muslim Politics' : "In Tunisia, the people here are not 'happy' about events in Egypt, despite intense brotherly (sisterly) support for the uprising itself. Why? Because the people here fear/sense that the military handover that followed the ousting of Mubarak is a catastrophic mistake."

About 60% of the Egyptian population is 30 or under. They have never known any other "king" in their country except Mubarak. The long standing presence of their despotic ruler has somewhat moulded their ideology likewise. Though the Egyptian people hate Mubarak and his regime, they subconsciously have a dependency problem on many of that regime's rules. Mubarak worked for the White House for over 3 decades. Subsequently, the young Egyptians are unable to envisage the need to fight for an end to US role in Egyptian politics. The US embassy in Cairo was the lifeline for Mubarak's palace and his regime, and will continue to be no matter who replaces Mubarak. It's a horrific obstacle for revolutionists seeking change but that never occured to the Egyptian people.

To make matters worse, the Egyptian military has had a very close relationship with US and its intellegensia for a long, long time. The military supported Mubarak from the day he came to power until the day he left. When Mubarak was certian he couldn't quell the uprising, he felt his best choice was to hand over power to the institution that always supported him. Military, as an institution, has huge striking potentials in any country of the world. If it supports the despotic regime during an uprising, the people can do nothing. Now, the Egyptians are not only without proper leadership but they are also cornered in a very helpless situation against the guns of their own armed forces. Fortunatley for them, most are hardly aware of it. Ignorance is bliss in many situations and this is one of them.

Simply put, this revolution can hardly match the smartness of what happened in Iran 1979. There is a lesson to be learned. It vividly exposes the difference between a revolution with a sound leadership and agenda to free the masses from the fetters of imperialism, and another one, where the people gather on the streets to address their grievances but without any leaders interested in winning back their country's sovereignity.

O you bet!  It's been a massive and resounding failure.  There's barely any difference between post and pre Mubarak Egypt.  The recent resignation of Mubarak appointed PM, Shafiq, means nothing.  It only means a Mubarak favorite being replaced by a military favorite.  The Egyptian idiots just can't understand that there's a strong bond between Mubarak and the army.  Mubarak was a military man.  He never gave up his military post during those 31 or 32 years of presidency.  As long as the military remains his successor, it will never change the policies of their own man.  The Egyptian revolution (aka manipulation & pollution) should have made the innocent soul of Khalid Said feel vindicated.  But it doesn't look like that.  If Allah (Subhana Wa'Tala) has granted the permission to Khalid's soul to watch what's been happening in his country, that soul must be shedding more tears than ever before. 

Tunisia is doing much better in comparison.  It has already freed all political prisoners from the time of Ben Ali.  In Egypt it's the opposite.  Political prisoners are adding up by the day.  The Egyptian army now in power is continuing to arrest and torture political prisoners just as Mubarak did while in power. 

BenAli of Tunisia was not a military man.  Tunisians didn't have to worry about the army's support for him.  That isn't the case in Egypt.  But the Egyptian people, naive as ever, haven't been able to perceive it nor make plans accordingly.  In fact, they've so far shown no abilities to make any intelligent plans whatsoever.

Thanks for this very good piece, sister Zeynab.  Very honest work.

Well put sis.  Yes, this "revolution" was big shit.  It wasn't revolution, it was devolution.   The poor Egyptian people worked so hard and so many died, but the end result was nothing different than a coup.  What fell on their lap was army rule.  Not a very good outcome for such a huge sacrifice by the people.  The US army chief is already hobnobbing with the Egyptian military.  Shitty shame!!!!!!

The following interview of Mark Glenn by Press TV says the same.

'Egyptian army follows Israel, US orders'

Good read sister Heba.  Mark Glenn also sounds sure that it wasn't a "revolution" but a "devolution"  Cheesy
