There is a rumor circulating like fire in the 48 hours thanks to Amr Adeeb who discussed it openly in his popular show “Cairo Today” : Salafists are going to kidnap unveiled ladies tomorrow till Camilla Shehata is set free on Tuesday March 29th!!
Adel Fakhary Daniel , the chairman of the upcoming Christian integrity party claimed that he knew from some source that the former State security officers were preparing with Salafist groups a series of attacks against unveiled ladies from the street in the Camilla Shehata million man protect next Tuesday !!
It is true that the Salafists are planning to have their own million man march to set Camilla Shehata free allegedly from the Church. For the record PM Essam Sharaf promised them to investigate the matter.
This provoking stupid rumor comes at time the Salafists are highly criticized for their views towards the state and the society especially after the emerging videos of their famous sheikhs like Hazem Shoman and Hussein Yaccoub.
Hussein Yaccoub’s infamous speech about the holy ballot boxes war , how the religion won over democracy and that those who does not like it then leave to the States and Canada was the first !! After huge criticism from influential personalities including religious figures like Amr Khaled “was against the constitutional amendments” led the Sheikh say on air that he was just laughing and that they “the Salafists” are the people of the other world , the world of judgment day.
For the record the referendum committee reported the practices of Salafists and their use of religion to the AFC along other actions whether from MB or from Church.
The Salafists beliefs as far as I used to know did not for real involved in politics but it seems that I am wrong because there is online war between the Salafists and the other fractions in the country about the religious state and civil state !!! The Salafist Websites and FB pages are attacking democracy and civil state concept while the other fractions are attacking the religious state society. The Salafists emerging videos show a huge amount of misunderstanding to politics , they also show how they are using a simple language to communicate with the biggest range of people.
Another remark I have noticed that is that their followers refuse any kind of criticism to their clerics , strangely when they are confronted by any criticism , they will remind you with the freedom of expression which is another part of democracy and civil state they are attacking.
Again I feel there is undeniable priesthood in the movement , there is no priesthood in Islam.
They do not want to try understanding that Islam and democracy are not against each other and that civil state will not make my mom take off her veil. They do not understand that the civil state already existed in the Islamic state.
Back to the rumor of the day which is really freaking out a lot of people , one of the biggest Salafist groups in the country has already denied the rumor and accused the media of defaming the movement. Nevertheless there are other Salafist groups and movements in the country , it is not a one group like the Muslim brotherhood.
I believe it was a silly rumor , silly stupid rumor because simply this rumor or rather an action like this will drag the Salafists Sheikhs and many of their followers to military jail !! Abduction is against the basic teachings of Islam and it is against the law.
I believe these groups are currently being used by the State security and former regime to scare the west and the middle class in Egypt using the old trick in the book in order to come back , of course I will not exclude the army from using them as well.
The old regime media is using the weapons of economy and the religious state to make people say : Where are the days of stability !!? Where is the day of state security that used to control those beasts !!?
One of the most important things have learned from following the Salafists movement , they go to the people and they speak their language. I believe this is the time of Al Azhar and the media not to mention the civil society to communicate with the people because these are the voters and they can be manipulated easily.
