I remember, on a personal level, on a master’s scholarship at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow – we had one of the courses in the first year 2019 under the name (Modern Politics), which was taught by a delegate professor from Georgetown University in the United States in the name of (Israel Marquis) in a partnership program with the School of Social Sciences at the university.
Everyone in the School of Social Sciences expected to see a really different person who believed in freedom of expression and academic freedom, as he was a young man no more than 40 years old – but at first glance, we discovered that we were facing a clown or stand-up comedian, a dictatorial figure who mistakenly believes that he knows everything, and his level does not exceed any teaching assistant in the faculties of political science in Egyptian universities, especially Alexandria University, to which I belong.
Until the moment came – when he showed his racist truth under the name of “freedom of expression” and in front of nearly 70 students of at least forty nationalities – and began to insult my country (Egypt) as well as the president (Sisi) and describe him as a dictator. Not only that, but he insulted both Syria and Iraq and that the three countries are dictatorships – without referring to me as an Egyptian student who has full knowledge of Egypt to verify his false information – and without regard for academic freedom standards, even American ones (MLA), which are known and which undermine any academic work that contains overtones of hatred and racism.
Accordingly, I went out and pushed the door hard behind me to respond to his fabrications and hatred – and I went to the office of the head of the department to investigate the incident because, as you know, all the lectures are currently recorded in audio and video to prove my right. And that he must apologize – and I even asked for a debate with this (thing) to prove to him how much America and the West are the source of racism itself with conclusive evidence – and I contacted our ambassador at the time, Ambassador Ihab Nasr, to inform him of the situation, and also to friend and colleague Dr. Amr El-Deeb, professor of political science at the University of Nizhny Novgorod also, to inform him of the situation.
I boycotted his lectures until the end of the year, to avoid hitting or scolding him in front of enough students, which would entail my expulsion from the university – and this teacher was almost reprimanded by the head of the department. In the next lecture, as I heard even from my American colleagues at the time, who apologized to me for this disgraceful behavior of a university professor representing the American Academy, he said, “I do not know why our Egyptian friend was upset. Therefore, this lecture is dedicated to insulting and slandering the United States and its regime, and I invite any American who is annoyed by this to leave the hall” – What a bad treatment it is for “mistaking another mistake,” given that this is freedom of expression.
This position explains to us how Western thinking is towards us – and they know fully that religions for Muslims and Easterners are a red line – and this explains the same position taken by this worthless Iraqi refugee in Sweden who claims to be Christian and is far from the teachings of our master Jesus, peace be upon him.
When a Syrian Muslim immigrant who was aware of his religion had the opportunity, I mean the polite Syrian young man (Ahmed Alloush) after he asked the authorities to burn the Torah in front of the (Israeli embassy) and after the Swedish media gathered, he told them, “I just wanted to show you how a conscious Muslim thinks that he loves and respects other religions as he loves and respects his own. Islam and this Qur’an that was burned in front of you urge us to love and respect the people of other religions.”
Sweden’s mistake in terms of timing
Sweden made an unforgivable mistake once again – for two reasons (the first) is the memory of the Hijri New Year of 1445 among Muslims and the imminent celebration of Ashura, which gathers more than 20 million Muslims every year in our beloved Iraq, which means a lot to us because it reminds us of the assassination of Sydna AlHussein for the sake of truth and the support of the word of his grandfather, the Messenger of God Sydna Mohamed, that “the matter is Shura between them.” And (the second) that Sweden’s soul is now in the hands of Turkey, regarding the attempt to accept the former’s membership in NATO. Where Turkey asked it for three dilemmas (amending the terrorism law – not to repeat the incident of burning the Koran – handing over some wanted persons from the BBK party) at the recent Vilnius summit in Lithuania.
Our position on the Islamic dialogue with the West
We are tired of those who say that it is necessary to hold a dialogue with the West because they may be ignorant of Islamic culture, and this is a right that is intended to be false. Please note that Sweden has approximately (900 thousand Muslims) whether immigrants, residents, or Swedish citizens – but as I mentioned in previous articles, the spirit of racism, populism, and the extreme right appears and grows rapidly in the West due to the bad economic situation due to the failure to achieve any success against Russia in (the war with Ukraine) and after referring the majority of the Western gross national product to the war economy and not economic growth, as a service The gun lobby in America, which is represented by Biden and others in the Democratic Party.
Likewise, the continuous media lying that is practiced through the Western media’s lying machine towards the citizens of the West, was repeated by the failed US Secretary of State (Blinken) several days ago, who did not achieve any significant success in Saudi Arabia and China, respectively. He repeated the same cracked disc, “that Russia is defeated, and has not achieved its control over Ukraine,” and this is a very stupid proposition because Russia’s demand from the beginning was and still is security guarantees and Ukraine’s neutrality from NATO.
In confirmation of what was mentioned above – if Ukraine, supported financially and logistically by the West, had achieved any tangible success in its counterattack against Russia – why was it not accepted into NATO membership?!
What we say in these dialogues (religions, cultures, and civilizations), which are attended by elites on both sides of Islam and the West, does not advance or delay the stereotype adopted by the West, which was mentioned in the literature of students (the American Strauss School), including Huntington and Fukuyama, who portrayed that the coming danger after communism; which was broken in their view after the collapse of the former Soviet Union; is the green tide (Islam), and that they must prepare for it. They forgot that Muslims currently number about 2 billion Muslims, and by 2070, the number of Muslims will be the majority in the world.
Despite the initiative of dialogue by the former Iranian president and intellectual, Mr. Muhammad Khatami, in which he tried to respond to calls for conflict between cultures and civilizations, and that cooperation and partnership are better for humanity than conflict.
However, the West still clings to its arrogance, racism, and hatred towards Muslims, Arabs, and the South, and if there is dialogue and partnership, it must be in accordance with its distorted model and ethics, which we face daily by spreading everything that destroys the family and human innate behavior and replacing it with abnormal and twisted behavior under the pretext of respecting individual freedoms. This is the axe that will inevitably destroy the West.
The continuation of Western and Swedish stupidity toward Muslims
Despite the uproar that occurred about three weeks ago and the Swedish government’s apology for what it did, the authorities again agreed to burn the Qur’an and even burn the flag of Iraq, by the same person, disregarding what could happen to this country by the Islamic world – as the Islamic world represents the largest market for these Western countries.
In the latest statistics issued by the World Bank, the volume of trade between the West and the Islamic world amounted to about $1.3 trillion, according to 2018 statistics, which is close to 20% of the volume of Western goods and services, and this is a very large number.
Sweden is not the first country to embrace hate
As it was shown above that America is the master of hatred – followed by Britain and its history is well known among Muslims and Arabs, especially the Palestinian cause, which, as the leader (Abdel Nasser) said about it, is the greatest Satan and still supports the Zionist entity and suppresses Muslims within it, and recently some Islamic centers were closed. France Macron, who republished the insulting cartoons of Prophet Mohamed, PBUH – Sweden and its Scandinavian neighbors (Finland and Norway) who accepted spying on (Russia and China) according to Snowden’s leaks, according to American pressure, and Norway, in which an extremist Norwegian citizen opened fire on a Muslim mosque in Norway a few years ago.
What happened by NATO and its countries and its sympathizers in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, and Libya, as well as what happened in Syria and Yemen and what happened in Pakistan towards Imran Khan when he decided to turn east – and of course what is happening in Sudan is the biggest evidence of the sedition that the West creates in our societies of sedition and division with the presence of some of our weak souls, whether from ruling regimes or an influential political group whose interests are linked to it.
Also, everything that is happening now distracts us from our main destination (Palestine) and the continuation of the most extreme cases of displacement, deportation, and systematic abuse, with American support from this usurping entity against our people in occupied Palestine, and if its problem was solved and its state was achieved, it would have woken up
What is the legal punishment for countries that support hate crimes?
We have two famous incidents in this regard under international law (the first) is the (Nuremberg Tribunals) for the torture of Jews in Germany, which were classified as a racist and hate crime, and required large financial compensation that is still paid by the German government annually to the Zionist entity.
The second incident is the Rwanda courts, which ruled imprisonment and compensation for everyone involved in racist crimes by the Tutsis against the Hutus, which left one million people dead in Rwanda in the nineties of the last century.
And these two cases are to respond to those who say there are no international legal precedents against hatred – and he must refer Sweden to the International Criminal Court so that it becomes an example.
What we have to do about this incident
As governments and entities – it is necessary to sever economic relations with Sweden and besiege it economically – money will humiliate them.
Pressure on the United Nations to criminalize the burning of divine books and to enact a new article in international law that requires prosecution, compensation, and taking escalatory measures against any country that does so – although, unfortunately, the United Nations has recently ceased to be a place that expresses a collective opinion in the world because the headquarters country controls it – and the Ukrainian crisis and before that, the Syrian and Palestinian crises are the biggest witness to this disrespectful West and the headquarters countries’ control over these organizations.
The countries of the Islamic world are heading towards the new powers, China, Russia, and ASEAN countries because they have alternatives to everything we buy from the West and they also have respect and credibility. Let us remember what the respected President Putin did with the Holy Qur’an during his visit to Dagestan when he received the Qur’an as a gift from the Mufti of Dagestan and how he criticized Macron after republishing the cartoons insulting the Messenger in 2019.
As for individuals – we have social networking sites and we propose a specific hashtag (prosecuting Sweden internationally) and handing over this extremist who burned the Qur’an, as well as writing to all the embassies of Sweden, the European Union, Britain, America, and Canada, as well as entering their pages through messages of disapproval, blame and warning that they are countries with double standards and that they must respect our religions and culture.
I suggest boycotting all European products, because Sweden is part of the European Union, and we must boycott all its products, and we have alternatives in the New World (China, Russia, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, as well as Brazil and Latin American countries).
And in the end, as Muslims – we have to stay away from sedition. We are about 2 billion Muslims, currently, the majority are from the two largest sects, Sunnis and Shiites. Let us make the occasion of the new Hijri year 1445 the year of Islamic unity, and let us move away from the superficial contradictions that are subject to scientific research in Islamic history. Was the migration in Muharram or in Rabi` al-Awwal? This is what I saw on social media, and each team clings to its opinion without a convincing scientific argument.
Also, we as Muslims, and I suggest, as a researcher, that we do investigative research on what the Muslims spent on sedition between Sunnis and Shiites, and we will be shocked by the greatness of the sums that will reach trillions of dollars. The biggest examples were Iraq, Syria, and Yemen, and in whose favor was this sedition? Did it come in our favor or in the interest of the West and the Zionist entity?
Let us build on the recent reconciliation between the two major parties of the nation (Iran and Saudi Arabia), a new stage based on love, cooperation, and trust. We have a window of opportunity, which is the labor of a new world order, and 2 billion Muslims must have a role in this new world.
“And hold fast to the rope of Allah altogether, and do not become divided.”
