The Muslim Brotherhood employs typical arguments and justifications, used by the vast majority of them to promote their concepts and actions, such as the concept of conquests, which they promote with Gustave Le Bon’s statement, “History knows no conqueror more merciful than the Arabs.” We do not wish to discuss the authenticity of the quote from Le Bon; let us assume it is true, However, its content is nothing but a gross fabrication and a colossal distortion.

Fabrication takes many forms, including, for example, the fabrication of combining opposites with each other, and thus the creation of verbal idols, such as Le Bon’s idol regarding the mercy of conquests,How can stealing from others be mercy? Therefore, it is not permissible to combine conquest with mercy, Conquests are nothing but stealing from others and forcibly taking possession of their land and country, given that conquests are theft followed by possession by force, Therefore, the League of Nations prohibited the use of this concept after the First World War, The conqueror comes and takes possession and does not leave, and his possession of the conquered land is perfectly legitimate according to religious concepts,There is no such thing as a people who willingly offer their homeland to invaders, There is no such thing as a peaceful conquest, Therefore, conquests represent a reprehensible attack on the rights of peoples, Therefore, everything resulting from conquests was prohibited and rejected.

The saying attributed to Le Bon deprived some of the door; some Arab nationalists actually believed that their conquests were a mercy for humanity, This belief prevented them from reviewing and criticizing, as Antoun Saadeh did, He was greatly influenced by the Phoenician philosopher and pioneer of Stoicism, Zenon, who adopted a just and humane vision in which reason and intellect prevailed, Saadeh said, “Our fathers witnessed the conquerors and followed in their footsteps, but we will put an end to the conquests.” No one from the Bedouin womb was born who questioned the situation of the peoples whose lands were conquered, how many of them were killed, what became of their rights, where the right to the conquests lay, and how they could be justified, The first writer to raise these questions in his book was Hussam Itani.A. Saadeh, as far as we know, was one of the few who rejected the conquests and their practice, As for Hussam Itani’s book, it was banned in all Arab countries!

Generally, people in this region do not read more than two pages a year on average, compared to the Israeli reading more than 50 books, Arabs do not understand what they read, due to a lack of reading and illiteracy, and consequently, a decline in culture, The deficiency is not in intelligence, but in the freedom of the mind, which is deprived of certainties and verses, The Brotherhood member does not think, prefer, or doubt, for what he knows is the absolute truth that does not accept discussion, This matter is observed daily in positions and behaviors for which we do not find a source in reason, but rather in transmission.

The second stereotype was the relationship between progress and veiling or progress and nudity, No matter how modest a woman’s clothing is, it is considered nudity if it does not conform to what is called Sharia dress,Thus, some saw the late wife of the late Shukri al-Quwatli as naked as God created her because she did not wear a veil, They say nudity is not progress! If it were progress, then animals, including goats, would be more advanced than humans.

It is pointless to emphasize that the rejection of the hijab and veiling is not due to a rejection of the clothing a woman desires, as she is free to wear whatever she pleases, The crux of the matter is “imposition,” meaning the imposition of the hijab through intimidation and enticement with promises of heaven and hell, and the threat of social ostracism for any rebellion against the imposed dress code, which specifies which parts of the body, such as the hands, are not covered, It is irrelevant to argue that comparing a woman to a goat is illogical or unobjective, as a woman is not a goat,Furthermore, “imposition” is not limited to the hijab but extends to all other aspects of life, A human being remains in a state of infancy when a mind is imposed upon them that replaces their own, principles unrelated to their inclinations, clothing that clashes with their taste, food and drink that do not suit their palate, and a life direction that does not stem from their conscience and needs, In such a case, their intellect is stunted because they are not thinking, and their mind atrophies because an inactive mind atrophies, This person becomes a creature without a distinct personality, a mere individual,From the herd or flock, crushed internally and helpless externally, the initiative killed, the will diminished, the adventure paralyzed, completely controlled, and not given a choice in anything, then the human being turns into a “thing”, into a machine that carries out the wills of others.

 The incomplete creature considers religion to be complete and integrated, merging with the individual and becoming confused with him, and acting as a substitute for the individual’s mind, that is, diminishing the individual’s mind to the point of annihilation, The greater the tyranny of religion in a person’s life, the more this person is diminished and disappears, and turns into a religious colony and an eternal prison, The person in religious captivity has no right to decide, so there is no need for him to think,Functionally, he is paralyzed to the point of death, He is only allowed what religion wants from him, The stereotypes are not limited to the material of conquests and the material of women and goats, There are a greater number of stereotypes that destroy the person and hinder his creativity.

Non-traditional thinking is creative thinking; it is a purposeful mental activity, a will to reach new and unknown outcomes that enrich human life with vitality and development! The mind becomes extinct when it relies on and surrenders to ready-made, stereotypical ideas founded on the disease of absolute faith, when it relies on and surrenders to stereotypical imitation, Non-traditionalism is expressive creativity that means developing the idea; it is innovative and imaginative creativity, representing the human ability to break through an established concept, hypothesis, or theory, It represents the human ability to rebel and reject,Stereotypical thinking, on the contrary, is the thinking of some based on ready-made ideas from heritage, then customs, traditions, and metaphysical religions, Imitators are stereotypical and repetitive unless they produce new ideas; they are worshippers of verbal idols!
