American Silence toward Egypt’s Terrorists is a Real Mistake

 

More than two years past after September 11Th. 2001, and the Arab Islamic regime in Egypt still practicing same policy of persecution, human rights violations, ethnic cleansing, and all other crimes against humanity. Changing the Middle East can’t be done only in Iraq alone. As it is known, Egypt is the heart of it, as well as heart of Islamic terrorism. Recently, reports and news showed the dirty role of Mubarak regime and his terrorists allies have played in providing arms to Hamas in Gaza, and the West Bank in Israel. On the other hand, they play a peace maker role in the peace negotiation between Hamas, and Israel. More, our own information indicates that the terrorist regime head is communicating with  Al-Qaeda through Ayman Al zawahry’s uncle in Egypt. To show support to terrorist organizations, the government released more than 6000 (six thousands) vicious terrorists from jails, on the last few months. Further more, the Army, Police, Moslem terrorists, join forces together in waging attacks against Coptic Christians on the last few weeks. The Army, unfortunately supported by USA, led a ruthless attack, and wiped out a center for disables, and elderly, killing two Coptic Christians and injuring others (Watany Newspaper, Jan. 12, 04). Further more, the Army raided and stranded St. Antonious Monastery in Suez and confiscating 2/3 of the land owned by the Monastery for more than thousand years. In Assiout, the police, and SSI, State Security Investigation, torture, arrest, beat women, children, and men inside a historical Christian Church of St. George. On Nov. 7, 03, terrorists attacked the Coptic Christian community in the village of Garza, 30 KM south of Cairo under the protection of the Police, burning more than a hundred houses, Christian business, wounding more than 20 Coptic Christians( Watany Newspaper, 19, and 27 of Nov. 2003).  Girza village is neighboring the main strong hold of Ayman El- zawahry’s influential family in the area.

 

On the last two years, we expect the regime to adjust itself to the new situation in the Middle East. But it seems to be that the best solution for it is to apply George Bush’s doctrine, the pre-empting policy which, is proofed to be a very successful policy for the Middle East so far. 

          We see the American role in the Middle East beside; fighting Islamic terrorism is to reach out the real victims of Arab Islamic regimes. The best thing to attract, and take them out of silence protecting their human, and civil rights with sincere, and seriousness. This step, first, will improve the American image and stop anti-American sentiments. Second, create a front on the local level from those, whom they disagree with despotic regimes, and the fascism of the fanatic religious sector. The Department of State, and American government ought to start pushing for this direction, now and immediately. The UN would play an important role toward the issue, and would be a test for all Human Rights Organizations, who never stop criticizing US policy, in many different previous occasions. If we do this now, terrorists will lose their local support. meanwhile gaining support for America’s policy, because the cause is very legit and real.

 

          Regarding the issue of promoting democracy in Egypt, the regime and its grass roots of fanatic Islamic organizations, such as Moslem

Brotherhood, and other terrorist organizations keep deceiving the world, and USA specifically. That they in the process of huge change, which is not true, for instance a new fake council were created by Mubarak called, National Human Rights Council. This council headed by a former UN secretary, Boutros Boutros Ghaly, one of senior generation of Islamization in Egypt. Other members of this Council mostly connected, one way or another with the Moslem Brotherhood, and other Islamic Jihad in Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, which still a main source of finance to Islamic terrorists in Egypt. When it comes to Democracy, the regime, and its terrorist allies' follow the example of Syria, the son should inherits his father’s positions. Their purpose of this weird democratic system is to keep corruption, oppression, and persecution alive for the sake of Arabs in these countries.

 

Alike Kurds and Iraqi Asyrians, Copts are paying the price of the world’s Human Rights Organizations, and UN ignorance and cover up for decades. On the last year, Many voices came out of Egypt crying for US help to free, and take them away from the iron grip of Arab- Islamic regime and its terrorists militias.

 

          The crimes and human rights violations of Islamic terrorism in Egypt against Christians, actually were the results and responsibility of former President Clinton’s foreign policy toward such a despotic regime of Mubarak. Now we still ask the same question why President Bush, despite of his great achievements on the war on terror, acts reluctantly with Egypt, and Saudi Arabia? At the same time we still very hopeful that President Bush will continue and insist to pursue the policy of liberating Middle East’s oppressed nations from tyranny and terrorism.

          As a part of the war on terror, United States must reconsider the military aide to countries like Egypt, and Saudi Arabia because the army in these countries is being used as a tool for persecution and oppression.
