…The dialectic of deterioration
Mamdouh Bitar, Ruba Mansour :
Due to the deterioration of civilization, 0f the peoples of this region suffer from, we find that, based on the experiences of other peoples, it is inevitable to practice criticism for the purpose of reform and correction, criticism is not limited to religious-political and even social thought, but includes other aspects such as the mentality of prohibition, criminalization, blasphemy, sanctification and many other practices such as circumcision (more than 90% of Egyptian women are circumcised) and polygamy (30% of polygamous marriages in Damascus), and the view of women and then religious racism, myth, faith and others
The necessities of progress require getting rid of most of the epidemics that hinder progress, this requires the first thing that requires serious “criticism” that does not include narcotic, inhalentic or sufficient gel values such as calling for brotherhood and love and avoiding sedition etc. This “preaching” keeps the swamp somewhat quiet, but it does not eliminate the insurgency, generally the devastation was not the result of criticism, but the result of lack of criticism, it was the result of fabrication and nepotism and quackery, which allowed the cancer of deterioration to spread in the form in which it spread
The task of the Enlightenment is to overcome the taboo and avoid the forbidden, and not to be relentless to the mindset of prohibition and taboos and the sanctification of evils and taboos, represented by religious and political repression and mythical illusions of mythical mythology dedicated to underdevelopment and degradation, what is prevalent now irrational and was not in recent centuries rational, and what is prevalent and prevailed led to degeneration, which must be overcome, not consecrated, must overcome the fear of the threat of sedition with ignorant origins, which is considered an internal Islamic concept, was invented to describe cases that do not exist in this era, the issue of Osman and his shirt was a sedition, two rows and camels were sedition, the problems of the Abbasids and the Umayyads were sedition, the problems of the Abbasids and the Umayyads were sedition, have been dragged into pastured concepts such as sedition and then the concept of guardianship, jihad, slaughter etc
The mythical religious thought that destroys life now and in the future dominates the collective consciousness, which is responsible for the continuous presence of defeat, and manifested in superstitious applications in the political-social-economic field, and then by the conspiracy and the conceited exaggeration in confirming the superiority such as the concept of the good of a nation!, Even the verbal command of good and the prohibition of vice does not turn this nation into the good of the nation, as long as the practice has moved away from the known and approached the evil, and what is the value of people’s belief in the possession of past glories that exceeded every perception?? All of this was nothing but gossip that is not innocent, proved to be a lie to the self, and what some claimed were real glories, but imaginary perceptions of glories that did not exist
It was the political employment of religion and the spread of preachers of the Sultans and intimidation of the concept of the unknown based on ignorance, then insist on the import of legislation, customs and values from the backward past and planted in the present, then the practice of violence, jihad and terrorism, and emphasize the need for the presence of God and His angels in every toilet, then how to enter the believer toilet with the right or left leg!, Knowing that there were no toilets at that time, then the preoccupation and suspicious interest of the horny erotic squints in marriage, and the issuance of marriage for the benefits of paradise, the uncontrolled virulence rape and victory over the vagina and not a victory over the idioty ,and then bullying the religious imagination and other myths, which took the minds of the simple and increased their ignorance and simplicity after their infiltration in their minds
It is necessary to free the mind from superstition, so as to enable it to work in the field of progress, progress and scientific, scientific with the mind of superstition, and not to combine the flat land and the spherical land, and between the Sheikh and the professor of philosophy, and then between the mosque and the school, the criticism of these obstacles and others is necessary for progress, slacking of it to surrender to delay
Most important of all was the space of the sacred, which was very wide in culture and life, the sanctification had a great negative impact on the development of these peoples, the holy eliminates the need for the Cartesian-Rushdi doubt, and is characterized by imposing the illusion of absolute truth through faith, and what does faith do with minds?? It destroys it and transforms man into a creature with a skull without a brain, so confronting the faith culture is a necessity of reviving rationality, and the peoples and nations have advanced only through rationality
The peoples of this region are not different from the developed peoples, progress is not my birth, the difference was in terms of upbringing and rehabilitation, the upbringing of the advanced peoples was characterized by rationality, and the upbringing of the peoples of this region between the ocean and the Gulf was characterized by stuffing heads with superstition, which represents most of the heritage, especially the religious heritage and its interpretations considered absolute facts and sayings from the sources of the divine prophetic does not come to them neither from in front of them nor from behind, so it is necessary to reduce the holy sites to the extent of canceling them, it is necessary to free the mind from the mentality of prohibition, and then get rid of the tendency of monotheism and the atonement of the opposite thought, that is, it is necessary to respect the difference and benefit from its positives
