Islam Facts and Fiction And The Fight For Egypt: English And Arabic Text
This is combined English-Arabic text of the third book written by the author on the Egyptian Revolution. The other two books are: (1) “Chain Reaction: Egypt's Revolt 2011 Illustrated” and (2) “A Matter of FAITH: The Islamic Spring”.
The three books comprise the views of an Egyptian immigrant to the United Stated, left Egypt in 1984 while Mubarak was in power, never returned home due to Mubarak’s pervasive corruption and destruction of Egypt. About ten million Egyptians face the same fate of the author of alienating the Nile Valley and never return. Many more millions of Egyptians could not flee from the grip of oppression and corruption of Mubarak, some drowned while attempting to arrive to the European shores. The only exceptions were Mubarak’s two sons who were helped by their father to work abroad while their father squeezed the life out of 82 million remaining Egyptians.
To be fair, Egypt has taken the path of decay and destruction soon after the 1967’s war with Israel and as a result of Nasser’s hard-headed politics of spreading revolution, nationalism, and socialism in the Middle East. Thus, Hosni Mubarak was stuck with the heavy burden of fixing failing state about which he lacked any experience in handling.
Mubarak’s iron-grip on Egypt was not loosened by revolutionary resistance as it was by his aging, detachment from reality, and his wife’s delusion in inheriting Egypt to her son Gamal Mubarak. Gamal would have succeeded his father without much resistance had not saboteurs managed to instigate killings of civilians, which ignited tsunamis of anger and violence.
The author described both the defunct regime of Mubarak and the newly elected Islamist regime from the point of view of a layman affected by his country politics from afar.
In this book, the author adopts the same approach of pacing together the pieces of the puzzle of the military coup of the reverse revolution against Morsi, the newly elected president, and the return of Mubarak’s old regime to power.
The entire book depends entirely on news fed to the author’s family connection in Egypt, open Internet sources, and daily news and interviews. It is written in the heat of the moment and carried all emotions towards a wounded nation and people by one of them living thousands of miles away.
