King Abdullah’s plan to destroy Qatar’s trojan horse

Published

Amid calls to raise copies of the Holy Quran during pro-Muslim Brotherhood protests planned on November 28 in a vain attempt to overthrow the Egyptian regime, an initiative was launched by Saudi King Abdullah to unite the Arabs and return Qatar to the Arab league again.

This also coincided with the appearances of several figures that we thought had been absent from the scene, an attempt to restore the discussion on the issue of reconciliation and internal reunification.

Questions have risen and some were confused, and the question was repeatedly asked, what is meant by Egypt, and what is meant by Egyptians through all these events and schemes.

In fact, this state of confusion is justified, there is no doubt about that. We have said and repeated, politicians, writers and government, even within the presidency, that Qatar will not deviate from the American orbit that has been decreed for it, and that it is the main supporter of Arab disintegration plans in the region.

We also said that there is no reconciliation with anyone who raised arms in the face of Egyptians, and everyone who supported them. We also said that America and its allies will not be satisfied without a weak, worn out, and torn Egypt.

Governments, as we said, have their necessities, and peoples have their options. However, are there fundamental differences between the Egyptian position on Qatar, and the immediate response by the presidency to the initiative of Saudi King Abdullah to make room for the small emirate to line up in the arms of its big sisters.

We say is there a difference between this position and the position of a rogue terrorist group called the Muslim Brotherhood, which allied with Satan in order to harm our country in return for gaining power.

We say clearly, yes, there is a big difference between the two cases, because while we are dealing with the Qatar issue, we are talking about a secondary factor.

When we deal with a terrorist group that carried and continues to carry weapons in the face of Egyptians, killing their sons, children and women, we are talking about an essential factor influencing Egyptian politics, both positively and negatively.

Here, when we or others try, and according to clear conditions, to find a solution to neutralize the secondary factor, in preparation for turning it over in favor of Egyptian politics, we accept that with pleasure, because it helps to amputate terrorism, by drying up its sources of financing, on the one hand, and losing political incubators, on the other side.

But here at home, the situation is different. There is no peace or reconciliation with the terrorists at all, neither the Brotherhood nor others who raise arms in the face of the Egyptians. There is no peace over blood, as we said in the past.

This is a foregone conclusion, and no one has the right to talk about it in a way that shocks the feelings of the Egyptians and the mothers of the martyrs, even if the elected president himself was the one who negotiates over the blood of our children, it will still be refused.

Conducting a major Arab reconciliation must guarantee Qatar’s support for Arab interests, with clear conditions, the most important of which is agreeing to declare the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group by a comprehensive Arab decision.

This is what I think the wise King, King of Saudi Arabia, and his brothers in the Emirates, Kuwait and Bahrain think. There is no ordinary Muslim Brotherhood in the entire Arab world, and he exposed their game a long time ago more than Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of the Emirates.

So, any confusion here between Arab reconciliation and reconciliation with the Brotherhood, is an intentional mixture to create a state of confusion and confusion in the Egyptian political street, especially a few days before the suspicious group called for a coup against power in Egypt.
