What did the conquerors bring with them when they came to the Levant, Egypt, and other lands? Did they have a book, or among them a religious scholar, a philosopher, a written language, science, culture, etc.? They had nothing but the sword and the concept of “I have come to you with slaughter,” then the principle of “Submit and be safe, or pay the jizya while you are humiliated and submissive, or fight where you will certainly be slaughtered.” What can we expect from a conquering colonizer of this cave-dwelling, barbaric 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 special benefit, or rather for a civilizational concept that was mixed with occupation. Egypt progressed at the hands of the printing press and benefited from the French presence in some way, even if the benefit was partial.
Conversely, what did the people of the Levant and Egypt gain from the Bedouin conquests? There was nothing but harm, crime, and primitivism, which took root in the souls of the Arabized people and remain largely dominant, despite their significant erosion after their true nature and consequences were exposed, One of the worst results of the Bedouin invasion was the stagnation in all aspects of life, There is no difference between the stagnation caused by Ottoman colonialism and the stagnation caused by the Quraysh Bedouin invasion, No civilizational monuments built by the Bedouin and Ottoman invaders exist, All the colossal monuments we see in the Levant and even North Africa date back to the Roman era and earlier, The Ottoman Bedouin and the Bedouin of the Arabian Peninsula built absolutely nothing except for the ten rooms of the Sulaymaniyah Takiyya in Damascus,In contrast, 20% of the Syrian budget used to come from tourism, and tourists found nothing worth seeing among the Bedouin achievements in the Levant and North Africa. Did Amr ibn al-As build the pyramids? And who destroyed the pyramids? It was Saladin! All the tourists saw and came to learn about It was Roman or pre-Roman!
Before the era of free social media, people’s engagement with history was incomplete,Today, when we experience any form of colonialism, we condemn and denounce it, recognizing that its primary objective was not the well-being of the colonized,Arab nationalists and the Muslim Brotherhood deviate from this norm, considering the Bedouin occupation a clear victory to be celebrated and glorified, even to the point of naming mosques, schools, and other institutions after the conquerors—the Caliphate and its military leaders— based on Arab religious concepts such as loyalty and disavowal, This concept prioritizes the religious community over the physical nation, even going so far as to wage war against the physical homeland, since the international religion serves as a “homeland” without geographical boundaries, This not only abolishes homelands, which should be based on modern concepts, but also extends to the family, which is superseded by religion in terms of importance and significance, Religion became more important than mother, father, or son, When a son apostatized, he was killed, even by his own father, Religious fanaticism was the foundation of all this criminality. And the madness, idiocy, insanity, and slaughter of human social relationships with the sword for the most trivial false or fabricated reasons, such as scratching what they call dignity, honor, or faith!
They claimed that what was born 1400 years ago was a great rich and represented a wonderful civilization, but the era of digging, excavating, uncovering the hidden, and archaeology proved that what was said to be a civilization was nothing but a rotting carcass hidden behind lies and forgery, graves filled with the garbage of vices, scandals, backwardness, stagnation, and crimes such as the jizya, Islamization, and its wars, and therefore a cause for ridicule and contempt, not pride!
Egypt, the Levant, and others were invaded by barbarians who carried swords and slaughtered people in the Levant until a river was named the Red River. The betrayed peoples did not know of any book written by the Bedouin or any thought they created, The Bedouin were illiterate, including Ibn Abdullah. They did not add anything to the civilization of the Levant or the civilization of Egypt and others. Rather, they destroyed what the ancients had built in Egypt and the Levant, even some of the pyramids, The same applied to the rest of the conquered areas, which were taken by the invaders as spoils of war, such as captives, slaves, property, and everything like money, through theft, plunder, and tribute, The living had to pay it while they were humiliated. Rather, the living had to pay tribute on behalf of the dead in Coptic Egypt, The permissibility was complete for both people and stones, The Bedouin did not have any knowledge of managing the offices and records of money and stolen spoils, Here, in Egypt, they sought help from the Copts, and in the Levant, from the Syriacs.
Invasion and the collection of war booty cannot be considered “civilization” or “liberation” as the peoples of the conquered regions were not civilized, and the Egyptian or Syrian had no need to learn anything civilized from the Bedouin invaders, except for the arts of dealing with the sword and then theft and plunder, which represented for the invaders the main primary goal, To divide the loot, rules and regulations were established, such as the despicable rule of the fifth, Despite this, the Syrian farmer and the Egyptian farmer remained behind their plows, and with time, even agriculture disappeared, due to the Bedouin’s lack of interest in production, because the Bedouin do not live from production but from plunder and theft, The Bedouin invaders did not learn anything from the civilizations of the peoples who were afflicted by them, but on the contrary, the peoples of the civilizations learned many negatives from the dominant Bedouin, according to Ibn Khaldun’s rule.
The Roman and Pharaonic Egyptian monuments remained standing tall, defying time, The barbarity of the Bedouin locusts was not limited to not progressing or learning from civilized peoples, but rather the barbarity was keen to promote backwardness. Thus, the Bedouin military level was somewhat balanced with the civilized level of the conquered countries, To weaken the civilized level, the Bedouin locusts resorted to applying Sharia law and then to the deliberate destruction of “idols.” Saladin destroyed many pyramids, and the Bedouin did nothing else in the Levant, The destruction was not limited to the era of conquests, but extended to the present era, for example, at the hands of ISIS in the first place, In parallel with ISIS, the Muslim Brotherhood practiced this, and dictatorial regimes practiced it in the last century as well. For 400 years, the Ottomans practiced this.
It is not permissible to attribute any civilization to anyone other than its creator, 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 accomplish? What civilization did they establish in the field of culture, philosophy, construction, laws they enacted, or practices they carried out? The religion that came with them had no arts, philosophy, or sciences. Drawing was forbidden, images were forbidden, theater was forbidden, and even establishing libraries was forbidden, The printing press was forbidden, except for beards that reached the knees, then prayer, the practice of sexual intercourse in its animalistic and rapist forms, then killing for the most trivial reasons. Killing, revenge, enslavement, and other evils were a kind of worship.
When we discuss or evaluate any invasion or colonial occupation, ancient or modern, we condemn and denounce it, as it represents exploitative ambitions carried out through 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, They even name schools, streets, and mosques after criminals like Saladin, Ibn al-Walid, or Uqba ibn Nafi, in commemoration of them, All of this demonstrates the Arabists’ and the Brotherhood’s ignorance of the true nature of the Bedouin locust invasion, or perhaps they did know, but wanted to employ the lie of Bedouin “glory” to promote their own tyranny and plunder as an extension of the Bedouin locust invasion. In other words, they wanted to have the same privilege of plunder, tyranny, and theft as the Bedouin locust invasion, The Arabists did not understand the duality of production and subsistence, and they possessed no means of subsistence other than plunder and theft, The duality of production and subsistence was absent when The Bedouin and it remained lost among the Arabized peoples, who lost the possibility of external invasion, so they lived off internal looting, which was called “Ta’feesh”!!!!
The holy religion considered war spoils permissible and permissible, and thus war spoils became sacred. In this era, looting and corruption have become sacred, In addition, sanctification is used to manipulate and hybridize consciousness according to Bedouin standards regarding the sacred, which has become a major problem, especially after its expansion to the personal level, Thus, Sinwar reached the status of Omar, and Omar reached the status of a messenger, like a holy god. Likewise, the actions of Gaddafi, Nasser, Bashar, Hafez, and today al-Julani and Abu Amsha were modern, Even internal invasion and the extermination of polytheists from the remnants of the Alawites, Druze, and Kurds became sacred, and was surrounded by a wall of fabrication about the Creator, who must be worshipped by everyone, Whoever doubts his worship and faith is declared an infidel, Even the declaration of infidelity was surrounded by a wall of sanctity. According to Sharia, whoever declares an infidel is killed. Just like that!
