Let’s just say, for the sake of argument, that there is no way forward in Egypt but open warfare. OK. How exactly do you intend to do that? You believe that targeting corporations is too long a process, and you can liberate Egypt from tyranny much faster by means of civil war. you have the ayah
” قَالَ الَّذِينَ يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّهُم مُّلاَقُو اللّهِ كَم مِّن فِئَةٍ قَلِيلَةٍ غَلَبَتْ فِئَةً كَثِيرَةً بِإِذْنِ اللّهِ وَاللّهُ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ ”
Excellent, I believe in this 100%, and indeed, I am relying on it.
Do you have weapons? No.
Do you have training? No.
Do you have funding? No.
Do you have widespread popular support? No.
Do you have a strategy for overcoming these deficiencies? No.
The ones who are providing all of these things for the fighters in Syria are the same ones who are pumping money into Egypt to support Sisi, so I assume you don’t expect them to fund and equip you against him.
So basically, you are saying that the only option is the option for which you are completely unprepared and incapable; the only possible option is the impossible option. This means, in actual reality, that you have accepted defeat, but want to appear brave while doing it. Fleeing the battlefield while shouting “jihad”
No. There is a way to fight, a real way, an effective way, a way for a small group to overcome a larger one; a way that employs the condition Allah mentioned in the ayah, “patience”.
Do your research, organize, educate, strategize, target the real power structure, and insha’Allah we can achieve real victory.
