Primitivity and civilization
Mamdouh Bitar, Ruba Mansour
Some talk about the Arab Muhammadan civilization, which came with the conquests, Here we ask what the conquerors carried with them when they came to the Levant, Egypt and other countries. Did they have a book in their hand, or even a religious man, language, science, culture, philosophy, etc.? They had nothing in their hands but the sword and the concept that I have come to you with slaughter, then the principle of converting to Islam and you will be safe, or pay the tribute and you will be humiliated and by hand, or fight where you will certainly be slaughtered. What do we expect from a colonial conqueror of this cave type compared to the French invasion of Egypt, which was accompanied by many scholars who deciphered the secrets of the hieroglyphic language and then brought the printing press and other things? Of course, all of this was not for the sake of the Egyptians , but for a private benefit, or rather for a civilizational concept mixed with occupation, Egypt advanced at the hands of the printing press and benefited from the French presence in some way, even if the benefit was partial.
On the other hand, what did the people of the Levant and Egypt benefit from the Bedouin conquests? There was nothing but harm, crime and primitiveness that had taken root in people’s minde due to the long time colonalism, and which is still dominant to a large degree despite its great erosion through uncovering it. One of the worst results of the Bedouin invasion was stagnation in all aspects of life. There is no difference between the stagnation caused by the Ottoman colonialism and the stagnation caused by the Bedouin colonialism!
Before the era of free social communication, peoples’ interaction with history was distorted and incomplete, When we are exposed to any colonialism, we denounce and deplore it, and we know that its primary mission was not the interest of the colonies, Arabists and the muslim Brotherhood are an exception to this rule, as they consider the Bedouin occupation a clear conquest that must be celebrated and commemorated, to the point of glorifying its symbols, such as naming mosques, schools, and others after the symbols of the invaders, i.e., the Caliphate and its military leaders, based on Arab muslim Brotherhood concepts such as the concept of loyalty and disavowal, the best nation, and others, which cares about the religious nation and does not care about the earthly homeland. Rather, it fights the earthly homeland, because the international religion is like a “homeland.” The matter is not limited to the abolition of homelands that were formed according to modern concepts, but the abolition expands to the family. The importance of religion is much greater than the importance of the mother, father, son, or wife. When a son abandons religion, he is killed, even by his father, Religion is the basis of all this crime and madness. .
All of this and much more, such as the violation of homelands and the destruction of social relations such as motherhood, indicates that a civilization was born 1440 years ago, and was rich and great according to their claims, but in the age of digging, excavation and revealing the hidden, a rotting corpse was identified, hidden behind lies and illusions, graves filled with the garbage of vices, scandals, backwardness and stagnation, and thus a cause for ridicule and not for pride.
The invasion of Egypt and the invasion of the Levant were carried out by savages carrying swords. We have not heard anything about the books they wrote or the ideas they created. They were illiterate, including Ibn Abdullah. They did not add anything to the civilization of the Levant or the civilization of Egypt or others. Rather, they demolished what the ancients had built in Egypt and the Levant, even some of the pyramids. The same applies to the rest of the conquered areas, which were taken over by the invaders as they took possession of other spoils of war such as captives, concubines, properties, and everything available, such as money in the form of a tribute that the living had to pay, humiliated. Rather, the living had to pay the tribute for the dead in Egypt, It was a complete violation of people and stones without any knowledge of managing the bureaus and records related to money and spoils, Here, they sought help from the Copts in Egypt and from the Syriacs in the Levant.
The invasion and the collection of spoils of war cannot be considered “civilization” or “liberation” since the peoples of the conquered regions were not of a low civilization, and the Egyptians and Syrians did not need to learn anything civilized from the invaders, except for the way of dealing with the sword, then captivity and theft, which represented for them the main primary goal. The Syrian farmer and the Egyptian farmer remained behind their plows, and with time even agriculture disappeared, and nothing new was invented, and even the Bedouin invaders did not learn from the civilizations of the peoples who afflicted them.
The Roman and Pharaonic Egyptian monuments remained standing tall, defying time, The barbarism of the Bedouin locusts was not limited to not advancing or learning from civilized peoples, but rather the barbarism was keen to stimulate backwardness, so that the military level of the Bedouins would be somewhat balanced with the level of civilization of the conquered countries, To weaken the level of civilization, the Bedouin locusts resorted to deliberate destruction, Saladin destroyed many pyramids, and the Bedouins did nothing else in the Levant, The destruction was not limited to the era of conquests, but rather extended to the current era, for example, primarily at the hands of ISIS, Before ISIS, the muslim Brotherhood practiced this, and before the Brotherhood, the Ottomans did this.
It is not permissible to attribute civilization to anyone other than those who contributed to it, The Pharaonic civilization was created by the Pharaohs, i.e. the ancient Egyptians,The Mesopotamian civilization was created by the Arameans, Syriacs and Chaldeans, The Mayan civilization was created by the Mayan people, What did the Bedouins create? What books did they write, what buildings did they construct, what laws did they enact, and what cultural works did they practice? There were no arts, philosophy or sciences in religion, Drawing was forbidden, photography was forbidden, theater was forbidden, and even the establishment of libraries was forbidden, The printing press was forbidden, with the exception of beards that reached the knees, Then prayer, the practice of animalistic forms of rape, and murder for the most trivial reasons were permitted and were a type of worship.
When we discuss or evaluate any colonial invasion of our country, ancient or modern, we denounce, condemn and find it ugly, because it represents exploitative ambitions with barbaric and savage means, However, the Arabists and the muslim Brotherhood do not consider the Bedouin locust invasion to be colonialism, but rather a clear conquest, They praise it and do not hesitate to hold celebrations in its memory, Rather, schools, streets and mosques are named after criminals such as Saladin, Ibn al-Walid or Uqba ibn Nafi’ to commemorate them, All of this proves that the Arabists and the muslim Brotherhood do not know the truth about the Bedouin locust invasion, or that they know it, but they want to employ the indoctrination of glorification to facilitate the possibility of their domination as if they were an extension of the Bedouin locusts, That is, they want to have the privilege of plundering, dominating and stealing as the Bedouin locusts had, They are afflicted with duality on the one hand, and on the other hand, they do not have a means of living other than plundering and stealing, The duality of work and production was missing among the Bedouins and remained Missing among the Arabists.
