A man came to the Prophet and said, 'Can you tell me where I will go if I get martyred?' The Prophet replied, 'To Paradise.' The man fought till he was martyred.

“We don’t have leadership in the West. That bus left a long time ago. What remains are merely career politicians who couldn’t find their way out of a paper-bag, and whoms stupidity is so steep they are destroying our societies from within. None of the current stock will be remembered for anything worthwhile by future generations.
Yes, it is a 100% fact that the vermin in the powers ruling the United States and Europe are indeed pouring people’s tax monies on terrorists. While they keep cutting help for their own people, they submit hundreds of billions in funds to nasty extremists who should be executed, not fed and housed. That is how utterly stupid these people are, who are now in charge of decisions in the biggest economies of the world. When a former communist state like Russia displays greater insight than those claiming a democratic mindset, you grasp how bad the situation is and how misplaced these people are to lead anything at all. Our political corridors have been infested with mindless fools.„ — Faisal Abbas

Western condemnation of recent developments in Egypt raises serious questions about whether the leaders of the free world are aware of, or understand, the reality on the ground. The way Americansand Europeans (not to mention the Turks) are blatantly taking sides is certainly not helping ease the situation. Are they even aware of who, or what, they are supporting?
We all wish there was a way to avoid the Egyptian army’s intervention and the recent ‘high-risk’ dispersal of Muslim Brotherhood demonstrators, but the pro-Mursi protests were not exactly peaceful, were they?
People condemn the ‘brutality’ of the security forces, and any unnecessary brutality should always be condemned, as every life lost is a life too many. However, what shocks me is that most people forget that there were injuries and deaths among the security forces too. The deaths of protesters did not happen without reason. They happened because Brotherhood demonstrators were armed and violent.
Dragging Egypt into a sectarian war
Democracy should be protected and cherished, but has the West forgotten how far away the Brotherhood was from protecting and cherishing democracy when they were in power? Do Western leaders not realize that the people they are siding with are striving to drag Egypt into a sectarian war by attacking Christian homes, businesses and churches?
If a church had been attacked by extremist Muslims in New York, London or Berlin, wouldn’t the Western media (which is now mostly condemning the Egyptian army) be the first to label such a despicable hate-crime as an act of terrorism?
Caroline Emile, a 37-year-old Egyptian Coptic Christian who works in Cairo as a marketer, says Western positions do not take the big picture into consideration. “Western media is only focusing on footage of tanks in the streets, but people watching international channels don’t understand that this is for our protection against terrorists,” she tells me.
Emile says that to flare up its followers, the Brotherhood leadership has been lying by claiming that President Mohammad Mursi was ousted due to a conspiracy by Christians, and that now is the time to obtain Muslim revenge.
“People are condemning the violence, but how else do you deal with terrorists? These weren’t peaceful protests. These demonstrators were armed, and they were harassing the people living in the neighboring areas,” she elaborates.
Nonetheless, Emile is hopeful regarding recent developments. “It’s bringing the best out of Egyptians,” she says, adding that there was nothing more humbling than seeing Muslim and Christian Egyptians hand in hand, creating a human shield around churches. “Let them (the Brotherhood) attack our churches. As long as Egypt is united, we – Muslims and Christians – can rebuild them at any time.”
That sounds like the Egypt I hope to see being built, but the leaders of the free world might have another opinion.
Given the disastrous handling of almost every related situation since the eruption of the Arab Spring in 2011, it would be highly-recommended that the West stops interfering in internal Egyptian affairs.
